Mining Bitcoin has reached unprecedented levels of difficulty, peaking at 83.95 trillion on Thursday. This adjustment occurred at block height 834,624, with roughly 1,960 blocks remaining until the next recalibration.
Whoever wrote this made it sound like the adjustment period is suddenly 1960 blocks instead of 2016 because of the increased hashrate.
I read that three times before realizing that he counter the block remaining while he was writing the article, which is pretty useless if you raed it one day later.
Concurrently, Bitcoin’s computing power has soared to new heights, registering a peak hashrate of 628 exahash per second (EH/s) on Mar. 12, 2024. Since that peak, the hashrate has slightly decreased to 624 EH/s, as reported by the seven-day simple moving average (SMA) available on hashrateindex.com.
That's the problem with calculating daily hasharte, it's such a random interval and it depends a lot at which hour your day starts, because there is a different between the number of blocks mined on the 12th when you compare Pacific Time and CET!
Because of that the actual highest is 649EH/s and it happened on February 3rd, if you consider GMT time.
Bitcoin halving event, which will slash miners’ block rewards from 6.25 bitcoins per block to 3.125 bitcoins per block.
