It costs $37,000 to buy 1 BTC. But how much does it cost to mine? . With an S19 Pro, you can mine 1 BTC for $13,000. That's a $24,000 difference.

Bitcoin's hashrate is at all time highs of 218 EH. That's 30% more hashrate than at its peak in 2021 before China's mining ban.

This is one hashing chip from a 56 TH/s Antminer S17. There are 144 chips per rig, so a single chip should hash at ~0.388 TH/s. Fun fact: The SHA2-256 hashrate of a top line GPU like the Nvidia RTX 3090 is ~9.7 GH/s. You would need 40 of them to equal a single S17 chip.

Hashrate for Ukraine. Join us!. Starting with a 10 BTC donation and 2.5 PH of our own hashrate we’re launching a hashrate donation account on @slush_pool to support the people of Ukraine. Miners anywhere in the world can add their hashrate to the account. Here's why (1/3) 👇

You run a few S9s in your garage. You're obviously running Braiins OS+. Pool payouts transfer to your mobile wallet. You spend some of those sats on dinner. This is the bitcoin economy, and it's happening now.

Bitcoin hashrate on Jan 26, 2010: 0.00000000000769 EH. Bitcoin hashrate today: 187 EH. That's a compounded annual growth rate of 1205%.

1/ The cypherpunk ethos runs deep among many #bitcoin miners. As mining gets more public attention, some from misinformed politicians, we want to share info on how miners can better protect their hash & privacy. TLDR: not that simple to get #secretsats but doable. Thread 👇

Exxon made headlines yesterday with its program that sells flare gas to bitcoin miners. But miners across the US have converted flare gas into SHA-256 hashes for years, many of them running Braiins OS+ with Slush Pool. And they’re just getting started. We’re bullish.

Is home mining worth it?. Breakeven power prices for an S19 Pro are $0.25/kWh. If your electricity is cheaper than that, you're in profit.

Block 74,638 was mined 12 years ago today, marking one of the most serious vulnerabilities in Bitcoin's young history. The block contained a transaction that created 184,467,440,737 BTC. 😳 Five hours later, a new version of the Bitcoin client soft forked away from the bug.

Bear market mining isn't easy. Some for-profit miners may go offline soon as cost of production starts to exceed the market value for their sats. Current BTC Price: $21,300.Cost of BTC Production: 23,600 *.

If you’re a bitcoin miner who doesn’t hodl as much of your payouts as possible, you’re doing it wrong.

1/ There’s growing interest recently in the idea of decentralized mining pools, especially with the possibility of miners & pools being considered “brokers” based on the latest US infrastructure bill. It seems about time we share our perspective on all of this. A thread👇

The original Stratum mining protocol launched to replace the getwork protocol when Bitcoin had 0.00003 EH of hashrate. It's older than Robinhood, Doordash and Google's Pixel. Bitcoin now has 205 EH of hashrate. Miners need an upgrade.

@ruskin147 Some nuance here:. A majority share of hashrate is powered by renewables. Miners are incentivized to consume only cheap energy, which is mostly energy which otherwise gets wasted. Some mining reduces GGEs, e.g. mining instead of flaring gas. More ⬇️.

A single hydrodam in Paraguay can power the entire bitcoin network multiple times over. ⚡.
FYI: Pictured in the 1st tweet is Itaipu Dam, the 2nd largest hydrodam in the world with 14GW production. It's located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, just a few minutes drive from Ciudad del Este. Below you can see how 14GW translates to #bitcoin hashrate.👀

Today marked a huge change in mining economics. Difficulty jumped +9.26%, the second largest upward adjustment in the past 12 months. This increase pushed hashprice down to nearly $0.08, its lowest level in 2 years. Bear market mining isn't easy.
