The difficulty of bitcoin mining is growing along with the hashrate of the network of the first cryptocurrency in order to keep the block time within 10 minutes. The average Bitcoin network hash rate reached 366.47 EH/s last week. At the same time, two weeks ago, the indicator was 354.5 Eh/s. At the time of publication, the hashrate is 374.62 EH/s.
Apparently, large mining companies continue to install new equipment for bitcoin mining, so the hashrate of the network of the first cryptocurrency is growing. At the same time, manufacturers of ASIC miners continue to develop more and more powerful devices. For example, Canaan recently introduced the A1366I with immersive cooling. A little earlier, the manufacturer MicroBT showed three new models of ASIC miners for BTC mining at once.
