THORChain lifts the GAIA pause while Solana remains restricted
November 5 data shows GAIA’s halt and trading-pause flags cleared and the GAIA.ATOM pool available. This is a change from the retained November 4 snapshot, not a test transfer or a guaranteed swap.
Cherkasy adds emergency cuts on November 5 while hourly schedules continue

BzMiner 100.70 lets MoneroOcean choose the mining algorithm
The November 5 release adds pool-directed switching, cached hardware benchmarks and separate GPU/CPU connections. The pool’s choice still needs to be checked against electricity costs.
OneZeroMiner 1.8.5 tests lower memory clocks on CMP and RTX cards
The November 4 update targets core-heavy mining on existing NVIDIA cards. Experimental Linux support has specific driver limits, and the claimed efficiency gain is not a matching cut in watts.
MicroBT lists M50S+ from $623.20, with a five-unit minimum
The official shop shows 152–156 TH/s configurations at $4.10 per TH/s. A low unit price still means a batch purchase, substantial power demand and a separate delivery bill.
Riot reports $39,265 per bitcoin before miner depreciation — $78,805 with it
The new third-quarter report shows why a low mining-cost headline needs its accounting boundary. Power-curtailment credits helped, while equipment depreciation remained substantial.
THORChain after 3.21.1: Bitcoin routes are available, but GAIA and Solana remain restricted
A November 4 API check shows why miners exchanging PoW proceeds need the current route status. The snapshot differs from early reports, and node upgrades do not guarantee every transfer has finished.
FreeForGem 1.7.6 adds idle-time NOID and CMFD mining for Windows PCs
The November 1 release extends a mode previously limited to Pearl and adds NVIDIA temperature-based load control for Pearl and NOID. An idle PC still consumes electricity when it mines.
