Huge Mining Confidence Indicates A Strong Boost For Bitcoin

Huge mining confidence shows that the bitcoin miners are not giving up and this could be a strong indicator for a boost in the price of bitcoin as per the coming altcoin news below.

The last difficulty hike from September 13 made it 10.38% which is less likely for miners to discover a block. In the meantime, the mining pools have been compensated with even power. It is expected soon that another double-digit growth in difficulty will take place during the Bitcoin mining re-evaluation next week if the huge mining confidence keeps up the pace. The data shows that mining has grown exponentially. According to the analyst Hodlonaut, the race for more mining rigs is a sign of confidence. The miners are producing 1,800 new BTC each day which is a number that will be slashed in half in 2020. The halving of the reward could arrive earlier as the block times go down to less than 10 minutes.

The growth in mining has led to an increase of 100 quintillion hashing operations which is a unique growth for any industry. Since the mining started with a computer CPUs and moved to multiple generations of specialized machines, it is hard to imagine what the future of Bitcoin mining will look like. Bitcoin is also the network with the highest daily transaction fees but Ethereum took over earlier this week due to the network overload and massive fee increase. The competition between the miners shows that there is a diverse selection of pools which discover the blocks of late. BTC.com still has a leading position but Poolin which a newly arrived pool, gained speed in the past months.

The increase in mining shows to the launch of the estimated half a million mining rigs and Bitmain has pledged transparency on the Antminer shipments but it is still very difficult to estimate the number of new mining facilities. The reports show that Bitmain is building a significant fleet of miners in addition to supplying other pools as well. The miners point their machines to the Bitcoin Cash network where the mining has grown massively by 30 percent since the beginning of September to 2.68 EH/s which is about 40 times lower than that of Bitcoin. The hashrate for the other competitor Bitcoin SV remains unchanged. As per the latest cryptocurrency news, the bitcoin price dropped below $10,000 but mining is still viable.
