Bitcoin Miners Struggle with Increased Difficulty and Sustained Hashrate
- Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by a significant 6.31% this week.
- The difficulty rating now stands at a hefty 155.97 trillion.
- Despite the increase, miners maintained a hashrate above 1,100 exahash per second (EH/s).
- Block times remained close to the standard 10-minute interval.
The recent hike in mining difficulty presents challenges for Bitcoin miners as they strive to keep up with increased computational demands while maintaining efficiency and profitability.
This week’s adjustment to a difficulty rating of 155.97 trillion underscores the ongoing resilience of miners who continue to sustain high hashrates despite operational pressures. (Source)
