BTC hashrate reached 52 quintillions per second 3 days ago, but this fact did not have significant impact on miners’ income. Moreover, BTC hashrate has increased by 3 times since the start of the year. Bitcoin mining, hashrate and the level of difficulty are connected in several ways. If the hashrate increases, the level of difficulty grows, too; in its turn, it leads to the fact that the miners will get some number of BTC and a part of transaction fees. However, recent increase in hashrate didn not lead to increase of profitability of mining companies. Maybe, electricity costs are the reason. The higher the price of electricity is, the smaller the income got a miner is. |
