Bitcoin Miners Catch a Break as Mining Difficulty Drops for the First Time in...

Bitcoin miners have received their third break this year as the network’s mining difficulty adjusted downward by 1.26% on April 14 at block height 731,808. Currently, miners have more than 200 exahash per second (EH/s) in computational power dedicated to mining the Bitcoin blockchain as hashrate increased after the difficulty reduction. Additionally, bitcoin miners have another 108,160 blocks to go until the bitcoin reward halving that’s estimated to occur on or around May 3, 2024. Bitcoin Miners Catch Their Third Break in 2022 Bitcoin’s mining difficulty adjustment....

Bitcoin miners caught a small break late Sunday evening (ET) after the network’s mining difficulty dropped 0.20% lower than the difficulty rating two weeks prior. The drop is the first mining difficulty decrease in four weeks, as the metric changed from 36.84 trillion to 36.76 trillion. Bitcoin Miners Catch a Miniscule Break as the Network’s Difficulty Shrinks by 0.20% Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is still extremely high in comparison to the height it was in mid-August 2022. For instance, on Aug. 17, 2022, just before the year’s third largest....

Bitcoin miners may catch another break this week as the network’s mining difficulty is estimated to see a reduction tomorrow. Every two weeks Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) changes, and during the last DAA change, the difficulty dipped by 4.33%. Currently, at 235 exahash per second (EH/s), the network is expected to see a DAA reduction of 0.51% from today’s metric. This Week’s Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Change Is Expected to Drop Lower On June 7, 2022, there’s one more day until the next DAA change and it’s expected to....

While Bitcoin’s hashrate has remained above the 200 exahash per second (EH/s) mark, over the last two weeks the network’s mining difficulty has been at an all-time high (ATH) at 31.25 trillion. However, after 289 blocks are mined or roughly two days from now, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is estimated to drop 3.67% giving miners some relief after the recent difficulty ATH. Bitcoin’s Next Difficulty Change Could Give Miners a Break At the time of writing, the Bitcoin (BTC) network hashrate is around 210 to 225 EH/s after the network reached an ATH on May 2, 2022.....

Five days ago, Bitcoin’s hashrate had shown improvement as it increased 15% over the course of ten days and today, the computational power remains above the 200 exahash per second (EH/s) region. Meanwhile, bitcoin miners caught another break on Thursday, as the network’s mining difficulty adjusted downward for the second time in a row, making it 0.35% less difficult to find a block reward. Bitcoin’s Mining Difficulty Drops for Second Time in a Row at Block Height 727,776 At the time of writing, the computational power behind the Bitcoin (BTC) network is....
