Bitcoin’s computational power soared to unprecedented heights this week, climbing to 609 exahash per second (EH/s) on Thursday, as per the seven-day simple moving average (SMA). Over the last year, figures reveal a staggering increase in Bitcoin’s hashrate, surging by 332 quintillion hashes per second. Bitcoin’s Computational Power Skyrockets On Feb. 8, 2024, the hashrate […]
Bitcoin’s computing power has soared to unprecedented levels, with the seven-day simple moving average (SMA) peaking at 566 exahash per second (EH/s) as of Jan. 30, 2024. Despite experiencing a slight decline in mid-January, the network’s hashrate is on an upward trajectory, in anticipation of the expected difficulty adjustment set for Feb. 2, 2024. …
Bitcoin’s cumulative hashrate witnessed notable swings starting in late December, with a pronounced decline occurring in mid-January. This decrease was primarily attributed to the severe cold in Texas, leading many miners to pause their operations temporarily. By Jan. 21, 2024, the hashrate’s seven-day simple moving average (SMA) dipped under the 500 exahash per second (EH/s) […]
As Texas grapples with unexpected subzero temperatures, the state’s bitcoin mining operations have shut down due to high energy demand. This has freed up much needed electricity capacity in the state, while also leading to a sharp drop in the global Bitcoin hashrate. Bitcoin Mining in Texas Faces Test as Subzero Weather Strikes The plummeting […]
As the first week of 2024 concluded, Bitcoin’s hashrate shattered another lifetime high on Jan. 6, achieving an unprecedented 549 exahash per second (EH/s). Though the hashrate dipped post-Dec. 25, 2023, falling from 546 EH/s to a low of 510 EH/s, it rebounded amidst a declining hash price and an intervening hike in difficulty. 2024 […]
