On April 6, the complexity of bitcoin mining increased by 2.3% to 47.8 T. In 2023, this indicator updated its historical maximum four times.
The approach of the largest digital currency to the $30,000 mark has become one of the main drivers for the activation of miners.
The difficulty of mining BTC changes after the release of every 2016 blocks.
In recent weeks, there has been a steady increase in mining difficulty, only on February 11, after another adjustment, it slightly decreased, after which growth resumed again.
The increase in the complexity of BTC mining is caused by the growing computing power of the network.
According to BTC.com, the hashrate has reached 338 exahash per second (Eh/s). Over the past few days, the hashrate has decreased by about 20 Eh / s. If in the coming weeks the power will weaken, then the difficulty of mining will also decrease.
Network activity has been weakening since the beginning of last week, as evidenced by Bitinfocharts data. The average daily number of transactions on the blockchain has fallen from 420,968 to 278,258.
As a result, transaction fees also fell sharply. Now they are $1.7.
