The Bitcoin network is preparing for a remarkable increase in difficulties in 3 days-
The mining difficulty of Bitcoin, the measure of how difficult it is to find a new block and add to the blockchain, will increase significantly on January 15, 2023. At the time of writing this article, the mining difficulty of Bitcoin on the way to an increase of 10 % seems to be increasing from 34.09 trillion to an all-time high of 37.57 trillion.
upcoming difficulty retargeting to increase the hashrate requirements
The leading cryptocurrency network Bitcoin ( Bitcoin ) is expected to be around in or around January 15, 2023 Experience a record -breaking increase in difficulty. At the time of writing this article, the Network rate is 268.79 Exahash per second (EH/S) and the computing power of the blockchain performance achieves All-time high on January 6, 2023. On this day, the hash performance of the network at block height 770.709 361.20 EH/S.
In between, Bitcoin block times, also known as a block intervals 8 minutes and 9 minutes, 6 seconds in length. The block interval is the average time it takes for a new block to be added to the blockchain, and the difficulty of the network is designed to keep the block time at about 10 minutes per block.
The actual time between the blocks can be changed from this average and since the last deviation difficulty on January 2, 2023, at a block height of 770.112, the block intervals were faster. For this reason, the realignment of the difficulty on January 15 will be a remarkable increase and an increase that has not been recorded since October 2022.
Foundry USA and Antpool have almost half of the global hashates of Bitcoin
at the time of writing and until the next change of difficulty bitcoin The network difficulty of is about 34.09 trillion. This means that an average of 34 trillion hashes (or attempts) are needed to find a valid bitcoin block and add to blockchain. At the moment, analysis pages indicate that the next change in Bitcoin is expected to increase 10.1 % to 10.21 % in three days.
In the highest estimate, the difficulty would achieve an all-time high of 37.57 trillion, and Bitcoin-Miner would have to spend 37.57 trillion hashes to find a block in the Bitcoin blockchain. Foundry USA is currently the top mining pool in the last three days with 29.57 % of the global hashrate. Antpool (19.36 %), F2Pool (16.38 %), Binance Pool (8.72 %), Viabtc (8.30 %) and Braiins Pool (3.40 %) follow on Foundry. Between Foundry and Antpool, the two pools currently have 48.93 % of the total hashrate of the network.
