πŸš€ Fractal Mainnet Mining Power Reaches 47 EH/s

According to BlockBeats, as of September 9, data from Unisat Explorer indicates that the total mining power of Fractal's mainnet, including merged mining and permissionless mining, has reached 47 EH/s.

In the Unisat Merged Mining category, four miners collectively mined 327 blocks within 24 hours. AntPool ranked first with a hash rate of 5.431 EH/s. In the Permissionless Mining category, eight miners collectively mined 1266 blocks within the same period, with SpiderPool leading the group with a hash rate of 437.2 PH/s.

πŸš€ Solo Miner Wins $181,000 Bitcoin Block Reward

According to CoinDesk, a solo bitcoin miner successfully mined block 860749 on Tuesday, earning a reward of $181,000. This event is notable as bitcoin mining is typically dominated by larger mining pools, such as FoundryUSA and Antpool, which together represent more than 50% of the total hash rate. Bitcoin blocks are produced approximately every 30 minutes, and the reward for successfully mining a block currently stands at 3.125 bitcoin, following a recent halving event earlier this year.

Solo miners generally have limited computing power compared to large mining pools, although new solo mining rigs like BitAxe claim to offer 500 Giga Hashes per second (GH/s). Despite this, a solo miner winning a block is akin to winning a lottery, given the network's all-time high hashrate and difficulty, along with competition from institutional miners with immense computing power. Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, explained that while it is not rare for a solo miner to find a block, it remains a low probability event. He noted that the production of small ASICs (mining equipment) has increased, allowing more individuals to mine from home.

Despite the occasional success of solo miners, the mining pool space remains highly concentrated. FoundryUSA and Antpool alone account for 53% of the total Bitcoin network hashrate. According to Hashrate Index, FoundryUSA has a reported hash rate of 202.8 exahashes per second (EH/s), while Antpool has a hash rate of 160.3 EH/s. An exahash is a metric that is one billion times greater than a gigahash.

πŸš€ Bitcoin Mining Machines Face Shutdown as Prices Decline

According to BlockBeats, recent data from Antpool indicates that Bitcoin's price has fallen to a five-month low, impacting the profitability of several mining machines. Based on the current mining difficulty and an electricity cost of $0.08 per kWh, machines such as Avalon A1466, S19 XP Hyd., and Whatsminer M50S++ have reached their shutdown price. Additionally, machines like Avalon A1466l and Whatsminer M66 (280T) are nearing their shutdown threshold, highlighting the challenges faced by miners in maintaining operations amid declining Bitcoin values.

πŸš€ Independent Miners Secure Bitcoin Block Rewards Amid Market Shifts

According to ChainCatcher, two independent miners successfully mined Bitcoin blocks this week, each earning a full block reward valued at approximately $300,000. One miner produced a block early on Thursday, receiving 3.157 Bitcoins, including transaction fees. The other miner earned a reward earlier in the week valued at around $295,000.

Currently, the Bitcoin mining market is dominated by large mining pools such as Foundry USA, AntPool, and F2Pool, making it less likely for independent miners to produce blocks. Recently, the market share of U.S. mining operations has declined, with some publicly listed mining companies shifting their computational power towards AI and high-performance computing sectors.

πŸš€ Bitcoin Mining Machines Face Shutdown Price Challenges

Bitcoin mining machines are encountering shutdown price challenges due to current mining difficulty and electricity costs, according to BlockBeats. Data from Antpool indicates that machines such as the Antminer S19 XP+ Hyd, Whatsminer M60S, Avalon A1466I, and some models of the Antminer S21 series have reached their shutdown price. Meanwhile, models like the Antminer S21Pro and S21+ Hyd are nearing a shutdown price range of approximately $65,000 to $69,000.

Additionally, high-performance mining machines such as the Antminer U3S23H and Antminer S23 Hyd have a shutdown price above $44,000.

πŸš€ Fractal Bitcoin Activates FIP-101 Upgrade With Support From Major Mining Pools

Fractal Bitcoin has activated its FIP-101 node upgrade at block height 1,500,000, completing the first phase of planned consensus changes and formally launching standardized index construction on the network.The upgrade has received backing from major Bitcoin mining pools, including Foundry, AntPool, ViaBTC, F2Pool, and Binance Pool. Together, these pools represent approximately 85% of Bitcoin’s total network hash rate, signaling broad miner alignment with the upgrade.Consensus changes and index integrationAccording to the Fractal Bitcoin team, FIP-101 marks a key milestone in the network’s evolution, finalizing initial consensus adjustments while introducing a standardized framework for index construction. As part of the upgrade, index nodes will be integrated into the core block production and incentive layer, rather than operating as a peripheral system.The network’s block production structure will also undergo a phased transition. Fractal Bitcoin said it will move from its current 1:2 ratio of merged mining to solo mining toward a ternary structure, balancing merged mining, solo mining, and index block production at a 1:1:1 ratio.
