| Bitcoin hash after halving the reward fell 16% |
The hashrate of the Bitcoin network has noticeably decreased after halving the award to the miners, but the trend will not be clear soon.
According to analysts of The Block, the daily profit of bitcoin miners fell by about 44%. Now, all miners do not have $ 16.1 million, but $ 9 million per day at the current bitcoin exchange rate, which today exceeded $ 9,000.
Deprecated ASIC miners, such as Antminer S9, are now unprofitable, at least at the current rate. On the other hand, more recent devices, such as Antminer S17 and Whatsminer M30S, remain profitable. The total hash of the first cryptocurrency network in the first hours after the halving fell from 122 exheshes per second to 102 Eh / s. Of the four largest bitcoin mining pools (F2Pool, Poolin, Antpool, BTC.com), the hashrate decreased the most on the Poolin pool. He lost about 30% of the hashrate. But BTC.com lost only about 10%.
Blocks were mined a little longer that day - the average block production time was 10 minutes 32 seconds. Five days later, a change in the complexity of bitcoin mining is expected, and the time of mining blocks will be adjusted. Given the failure of the hashrate, mining complexity may decrease by a few percent, but only the next few recounts will show the trend more clearly.
Interestingly, most recently, the bitcoin hashrate set a new record, reaching 142 Eh / s, that is, a drop from the maximum reaches almost 40%. On the other hand, short-term peaks are explained by a more random factor than a real change in connected capacities. Hash rate hikes and difficulties in the coming weeks could become even more significant.
