Bitcoin Mining & ASIC News: Market, Hardware and Energy
Mining news and original analysis with dated primary sources.
German day-ahead power reaches €351.48/MWh: what it means for a running ASIC
SMARD’s November 10 delivery schedule averages €351.48/MWh. That is a wholesale energy price, not a new household tariff or an all-in hosting quote.
Canaan sells 1 EH/s of mining equipment in Q3 as hardware demand weakens
The November 10 report puts Q3 equipment revenue at $4.8 million. Its sales average is a company-wide accounting figure, not a retail ASIC offer.
LNbits 1.7.0rc4 reaches PyPI: a test package is not a stable-service all-clear
The November 10 package follows security work merged on November 9. PyPI marks it as a prerelease; GitHub’s latest published stable release remains a separate check.
Bitcoin hashprice falls to $31.89: the electricity budget gets tighter
Luxor’s November 9 snapshot puts gross revenue at $31.89 per PH/s a day. A possible difficulty cut remains a forecast; the electricity bill is already real.
MARA mines more Bitcoin as revenue falls: what its $39,674 energy figure covers
The November 9 quarterly disclosure separates higher Bitcoin production from lower dollar revenue. Its owned-site energy cost is only one layer of a miner’s budget.
SRBMiner 3.8.6 targets GPU efficiency on pearlhash and quantus
The November 8 release names specific NVIDIA generations and AMD support changes. Check accepted work and wall power rather than assuming a universal profit increase.
LNbits tells operators to stop servers after attacks: check your mining payout route
The November 8 warning covers LNbits servers, beyond an earlier Paywall-only precaution. A hosted-service pause and promised patches are separate facts.
Zcash developers propose 20-second blocks without increasing daily coin issuance
The November 8 proposal follows NU7’s 25-second target. Faster confirmations would come with smaller per-block rewards and shielded-action limits; no activation date is set.
SunBit reports 30 Bitcoin heating systems: useful heat still needs an electricity budget
A November 8 interview describes operating installations. Official case studies show different heating roles, while continuous mining and useful household heat are not the same quantity.
PeakMiner tests automatic recovery after an internet outage
The November 8 release candidate separates connection recovery from the stable 2.20.7 efficiency changes for Pearl and Quantus.
Keryx updates GPU mining: faster kernels and fewer whole-rig pauses
November 8 releases from two related projects change kernel selection and multi-GPU behaviour. Developer measurements depend strongly on the card and power setting.
Stratum V2 1.13.0 fixes mining-job handling behind the pool connection
The November 4 library release addresses coinbase construction, work credit and message buffers. It is a pool-software update, not a universal ASIC firmware download.
