A solo Bitcoin miner earned the 6. 25 BTC block reward after beating the odds to solve block 793607. The miner reportedly used an Antminer S9 with about 17 TH. At today’s Bitcoin mining difficulty and with 17 TH, a solo miner would need an average of 450 years to land a block.

Crypto exchange Bitfinex paid $23.7 million in ETH fees for transferring 100,000 USDT to a third-party wallet. The miner who included the transaction in the block and recorded it on the blockchain later returned $22.1 million to the sender's wallet.

In just another Monday on Crypto, users reported that Bitfinex paid a single miner the astonishing sum of $23 million to validate an Ethereum transaction. In what could potentially be the largest fee an ETH miner has ever received to validate a block, the reasons behind it remain as pure speculation. The crypto exchange sent […]

Two months after the mystery mining whale from 2010 transferred a string of 20 block rewards with 1,000 bitcoin on March 23, it seemed as though the entity was finished, after spending 10,000 bitcoin total.

Crypto mining is a calculation-intensive computation process that requires high processing power along with high electricity consumption. The miner who first solves the puzzle gets to place the next block on the blockchain and claim the rewards.

Toward the latter half of 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, a mystery miner spent 200 block rewards from 2010 by transferring 10,000 bitcoin during the year. Since the whale’s last 1,000 bitcoin spend on March 23, the patterns of 20 decade-old strings of coinbase rewards are seemingly over. Meanwhile, only eight block […]

After crossing the 11. 7 million block height milestone, Ethereum Classic (ETC) has undergone a hard fork to bring about the anticipated Thanos upgrade. The Ethereum fork has suffered numerous security issues with multiple 51% attacks and proponents are hoping the new Thanos upgrade will provide much-needed network fidelity while allowing GPU-based mining to continue.

Bitcoin miners have been on a wild roller-coaster ride in the past few weeks. After the halving on May 11, the rewards they receive were slashed by half from 12.5 BTC per block to 6.25 BTC. As a result, most of the miners using older model mining machines were forced to shut them down as […]

Bitcoin’s hashrate has declined since the halving—an expected result of reduced block rewards. The falling network hashrate has a few interesting implications. The halving reduced miner block rewards from 12.

Since falling off $10,000, Bitcoin’s price is hovering at around $9,000. For now, the bitcoin halving didn’t have much impact on the market. The miner liquidation or much-feared miner capitulation as a result of block reward halving didn’t materialize, not yet.

In an attempt to make money for developers of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), a group of miners have suggested that a 12. 5 percent tax be imposed on block rewards. This suggestion was mainly met with skepticism due to its coercive nature, but Litecoin’s Charlie Lee has suggested a less forceful alternative.

A 1% donation of the block reward to fund Litecoin (LTC) development – this is what Charlie Lee, the coin’s founder, proposes as a solution to underfunded initiatives. Litecoin Miners May Afford to Support Development with 1% Fee Litecoin miners, which also take rewards for Dogecoin and other Scrypt-based algorithms, can afford to share some of their block rewards, commented Lee.

Litecoin founder Charlie Lee proposed a donation program to fund the Litecoin network. The donation of just 1% of block rewards amounting to 0. 125 LTC by every miner would generate a fund of $1. 5 million yearly.

A few days ago, Bitcoin saw one of the largest single miner difficulty drops since late 2018. Multiple culprits have been proposed, but data shows that this may have been a random coincidence. Miner difficulty is a measure aimed at balancing the block production.

Bitcoin’s network security largely depends on block rewards, not transaction fees. Will fees alone be enough to sustain the network as halvings continue to erode miner revenues? What does network security mean? The decentralization and immutability of a blockchain network lies in its resistance to the double-spend problem.
