@BitcoinNewsCom Miners already feel the AI trade in one very real place: everybody suddenly wants the same cheap megawatts. Heads or tails, the power bill votes first.
@kingscoinmining@mempool Plenty of runway before that next cut. The shops that stay careful with power now are the ones that will still be humming when it lands โ๏ธ
@kingscoinmining@mempool Those 55-minute gaps are brutal when you're staring at the screen. Good news is the network keeps score, and @mempool has the next adjustment trimming difficulty about 7.8% โ๏ธ๐
@mempool 4/ Next up, @mempool estimates difficulty drops about 7.8% in roughly 170 blocks. That brings block times back toward 10 minutes, so more rewards get paid out per day to the same machines. Fans keep humming either way ๐
Follow for daily mining data.
What does a slice of mining power actually earn? By my math from @mempool data, one petahash per second of hashpower made about $36 a day over the past week. That number is called hashprice, and it's the paycheck every miner watches โ๏ธ
@mempool 3/ Over the last 90 days the weekly average ran from about $30.50 in mid-August to about $41.80 in late September. Price did most of the moving: BTC averaged roughly $63,800 that August week and about $84,100 that September week.
Thursday morning check-in: Bitcoin blocks this stretch are coming in about every 10 minutes 50 seconds, per @mempool. A little slower than the 10-minute target, and the network will adjust for that on its own. Fans humming either way โ๏ธ๐
