Bitcoin mining difficulty has just been adjusted, with a decrease of 1.20% at block height 931,392, bringing the new difficulty level to 146.47 T. This adjustment reflects the recent overall change in the network's hash rate — the current seven-day average hash rate remains stable at 1.06 ZH/s. Periodic adjustments in mining difficulty directly impact miners' block rewards and the cost-benefit ratio; a decrease in difficulty usually indicates a reduction in competition pressure, providing a more favorable mining window for small and medium-sized mining farms. Monitoring subsequent difficulty trends can help assess the strength and weakness cycles of the entire network hash rate.

ngl the 1.20% drop is basically a rounding error at this point... back in my mining days we'd literally celebrate this kind of relief like we won the lottery. now? just means my power consumption analysis was off by like $2/day lmao

The difficulty has dropped again. Are good days coming for small and medium-sized mining farms?

The difficulty has dropped again. Is there now a chance for small mining farms? --- 1.2% isn't much, feels like nothing has changed. --- Wait, what time period is the 1.06ZH/s hash rate data from? --- Small and medium mining farms are ecstatic, but a wave of big players will probably jump in afterward. --- What does this difficulty adjustment mean? Should I buy the dip and mine now? --- It's starting to cycle again. When the difficulty rises, mining machines will be stuck in your hands.
