Title: Hash-rate of BTC down 2/3. What it mean?
Post by: bachanhlac on April 11, 2018, 01:37:53 PM
Hash-rate of BTC is down ~2/3 (31K>11K)  ANT pool of Bitman is stop mining BTC. Over 6k Transaction of BTC is unconfirm. What is doing now?  This is FUD or real?

I have no idea what you're on about, but blockchain.info's statistics (https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate) (and the statistics on a few other sites that I checked) suggests that the hashrate and the difficulty (https://blockchain.info/charts/difficulty) are actually still rising somewhat.
ANT pool of Bitman is stop mining BTC.
Antpool is still mining and they still have a significant amount (https://blockchain.info/pools) of the total hashrate.

I'm actually surprised by how little this recent price drop has impacted miners so far.  I suppose the difficulty hadn't really caught up with the price increases in late 2017, so people are still investing in mining despite the fall in price.

Why i read some news, the pool of bitman is stop mining BTC and the transaction unconfirmed increase by second.

I Think this is a "increase DIFF". As i know, the fee that miner pay to mining 1 BTC is ~6k $, not include the computer investment. So, with the price of BTC as recenty, they are not profit
