With the broader cryptocurrency market picking up its pace back, related operations are apparently getting back to normalcy. Crypto mining operations are also working fine, even better than where it was during the past months. For a long time, bitcoin (BTC) mining difficulty was also struggling and affecting the mining rewards. Now the recent data shows the surge in this metric and increasing revenue for Bitcoin miners.
Several mining hash rate trackers confirm the computing power to tread at a record high. Currently, as reported, it is revolving around a record high of 342.16 exahashes per second.
Primarily the mining difficulty is defined as the required processing power for mining a block over the blockchain. Data suggests that the block height on April 7, mounted to 784,224 blocks. Earlier the difficulty rate of the first cryptocurrency blockchain networks was also reported to jump up to 8% during the last month.
Mining difficulty is tailing behind the spiking hash rate reaching an all-time high. It witnessed an increase for the fourth time in a row. With the mining difficulty increasing, the miner revenue is also on the rise. In the aftermath of the recent crypto winter, which went on to hard-hitting crypto entities, the industry was struggling to continue its operations.
The mining revenue also surged along with the mining hash rate and difficulty and data suggests it went on to attain a 70% increase since the start of 2023.
Crypto mining acts as one of the most crucial sectors within the burgeoning asset-class industry. Though there are many concerns raised on environmental damage due to mining operations and countries often make efforts to restrict it, the actual facts indicate draw another picture.
Recently The Moscow Times reported Russia took the second spot in the list of biggest crypto mining countries after the United States. The former is said to achieve a mining capacity of up to 1 gigawatt while the latter boasted to have 3 to 4 gigawatts.
The bitcoin (BTC) mining is ramping up the pace is also witnessed after Marathon Digital’s recent mining report for Q1 2023.
