Bitcoin mining conditions remain challenging as hashprice stays close to $32 per PH/s/day despite a modest recovery in network hashrate. The Bitcoin network’s seven-day average hashrate reached approximately 920 EH/s, while transaction fee contribution declined and another small difficulty increase is currently projected.
Bitcoin miners are back to business as usual after last month’s Arctic blast iced operations across the U.S., and the network’s hashrate has clawed its way back above the 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s) mark. Even so, mining revenue is painfully lean to start March at under $30 per petahash per second (PH/s), and difficulty is projected to climb yet again.
According to the latest data, Bitcoin’s computing firepower has cranked up to a blazing all-time high of 1,157 exahash per second (EH/s). This climb in hashrate hasn’t taken a coffee break, even as prices dip and mining profits feel more like leftovers than a feast.
Bitcoin miners finally caught a breather at block height 919,296 as mining difficulty eased up for the first time since June. The difficulty dipped 2.73%, landing at a still-hefty 146.72 trillion.
Crypto investors might be nursing some serious portfolio bruises this week, but bitcoin miners have their own headache — earnings per petahash just hit a five-month low, and it’s not exactly the kind of milestone anyone’s celebrating.
Canaan Inc. has secured a purchase order from a U.S.-based bitcoin miner for more than 50,000 of its latest Avalon A15 Pro mining machines, marking its largest order in three years.
