The complexity of Bitcoin mining has reached a new record – Bits Media

After the next recalculation of the complexity of the Bitcoin mining, the indicator grew by 3.45%. In this case, the difficulty has reached 32.05 TRLEN HASHE - this is the maximum indicator in the history of the network.

This summer, the Bitcoin hashrate chain, And after it is the difficulty of mining, noticeable decreased - this was affected by the disabling of equipment in the American state Texas. Due to the record -hot weather, the local authorities asked to disable devices for the production of cryptocurrencies, To smooth out the peaks in energy consumption.

However, the heat in Texas passed and the hashReit was restored to the previous values, And now it has grown a few, which led to an increase in the complexity of mining to record values ​​in 32.05 TRLEN HASHE. Now the average daytime hashrate is 229.39 Eh / s.

Recalculation of mining complexity occurs about once every two weeks. Note, that two weeks earlier, the difficulty increased immediately by 9.26%. The next recount of complexity should take place through 13 days. By forecast of btc.com, In two weeks, the indicator will decrease by 1.5%.

Earlier, the Department of Scientific and Technical Policy of the White House reported, that electricity consumption by miners of cryptocurrencies in the United States has reached 50 billion kW*h per year.
