[notblox1]

With more delay than usual I am posting state of bitcoin pools in month of March.
FoundryUSA is back in the first place with biggest hashrate of 31.91%, and Antpool is below them in second place with 27.66%.
ViaBTC pool jumped up in third place with 12.77% and they switched placed with F2Pool that is now in fourth place with only 7% hashrate.
Three pools Binance, Mara and Unknown have the same 3.55% hasharate, than we are going down with much smaller pools.
Bitcoin reached new ATH and miners are having biggest profits in history.

Month of April arrived and this is time for another look at the state of bitcoin mining pools.
There was some news that miners are moving from United States to other countries in last few weeks, but FoundryUSA is holding fine and sharing the first place with AntPool.
Both of them have 29.14% of total hashrate, that is over 58% hashrate for only two pools.
F2Pool is in third place with significantly lower number of nearly 12% hashrate, followed by ViaBTC with 10.6% hashrate.
Now we are heading to much smaller pools with Braiins and Binance pools having 3.31% and other pools have less.
I am expecting to see big changes in next month report, but lets wait and see.

Around April 20, the halving will cut the amount of Bitcoin that "miners" can earn each day for validating transactions to 450 from 900 now. Based on Bitcoin's current price, it could spell revenue losses of around $10 billion a year for the industry as a whole. Marathon Digital Holdings, CleanSpark, and other miners, which compete for a fixed Bitcoin reward by solving mathematical puzzles using superfast computers, have invested in new equipment and sought to buy smaller rivals in an attempt to cushion the drop-off in revenue.

Month of May is here and it is time for another look at the state of bitcoin mining pools after Bitcoin halving was finished.
Antpool remains in the first place with 24.44% of hashrate but there was few percent decrease from last month.
Foundry USA pool is second largest pool with almost 23% of hashrate and they also record drop in hashrate from last month.
F2Pool is now in third place with over 15% of hashrate, with increase from April, followed by ViaBTC pool that has around 11% hashrate.
After them we have more smaller pools with BTC.com being the biggest.
It is good that two pools dont have over 51% hashrate anymore, but it could be better pool distribution.

A single custodian now controls the coinbase addresses of at least 9 pools, representing 47% of total hashrate.

As demonstrated by this consolidation of mining reward outputs from AntPool, F2Pool, Binance Pool, Braiins, btccom, SECPOOL and Poolin:

Month of June and summer is here, that is a good time for another overview of bitcoin mining pools.
Antpool remains biggest mining pool for a second month in a row with almost 28% of the hashrate, and it is followed by FoundryUSA pool with 25.87%.
ViaBTC has taken over third place with 9.79% of hashrate and F2Pool slipped one place below them with 8.39%, that is big drop for them from last month.
Mara Pool have shown biggest increase so far and they have 7.79% hashrate, with all other pools having less than 5% hashrate.
Binance pool is holding on 2.8% and I think wont exist for much longer now when CZ is in prison, but lets wait and see what happens.
