if 5 leave, the network security drops too, so it’s not all good news for remaining miners

Exactly! Less competition means your chance of earning goes up. With 10 miners, you have a 10% chance of finding a block, but with only 5, you jump to 20%. But remember, Bitcoin lowers difficulty when miners leave, so…

Right, so here’s the deal: create an unsigned PSBT. Pick your inputs and outputs, then make that PSBT. Export it as a file or QR code, send it to the other person. They’ll import it into Sparrow, check everything, add…

If we break it down, the second option is slightly more favorable. Network hashrate is around 600 EH/s, which means about 4,320 blocks a month. Case A: 50 TH for 2 months equals 100 TH-months. Case B: 120 TH for 1 month…

Just tried Bybit and I’m impressed! They’ve got a solid volume, 35% of Bitmex for BTC. Anyone know if they ever go unresponsive like Bitmex during wild price swings?

Hey everyone, just found out about TIME Coin and their claim on speed... 750ms finality??? Like, how is that even possible? Sounds too good to be true. Also noticed they pulled all this data straight from mainnet, which…

Hey there! I get the frustration from Antpool and ViaBTC, but I think Foundry just got a bit lucky here. Parts of the network probably hadn’t seen the competition yet. As the biggest pool, it’s typical they’d have a few…

I wouldn’t bother removing the negative tag. SeedCheckPro isn’t giving any clear info on how they plan to sync UTXOs offline. Real-time balance checks offline? Not happening unless they’re misleading people.

Hey everyone, can anyone share how much they earn from mining? I’m new and really wanna know if it’s worth it.

Does the number of shares show the work done? And does share difficulty show luck? What do you think?
