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.

The difficulty has been lowered again. Are small and medium miners about to take off? --- 1.20% doesn't seem like much. Can we make money this round? --- Wait, the hash rate has actually stabilized. Why is the difficulty still decreasing? --- Finally, a chance to catch a breath. The previous surge was exhausting. --- It all depends on whether there will be a rebound next. How many times has this happened in history? --- Small and medium mining farms are smiling. Big miners might be getting anxious. --- Isn't it said that the overall network hash rate is stable? How can the difficulty still decrease? Is there a mole? --- Is this what they call a friendly window? I don't feel it. --- Mining difficulty is adjusted every 2 weeks, periodically. Is there anything special about that? --- 146.47T, compared to historical highs, is still too terrifying.

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. 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.
