Mining news and original analysis with dated primary sources.
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.
ForgeMiner 1.9.1 fixes Pearl restart loops and stuck older Radeon cards
The November 3 release repairs several failures reported in 1.9.0, improves per-card control and lowers the NOID developer fee. Driver requirements still depend on the card and algorithm.
WildRig 0.51.9 targets stale Pearl shares and replaces its Windows build for RDNA4
The November 3 release changes Pearlhash networking and GPU routines. Its corrected Windows package arrived later the same day, so the version number alone does not identify the current file.
Binance traces its wallet attack to a fake interview: what miners should check about payout custody
The November 3 preliminary report explains why pausing exchange withdrawals did not revoke malicious on-chain permissions. Replenished backing, recovered assets and usable mining proceeds are different measures.
Team Black Miner 2.45 brings Pearlhash to GTX 10 and Radeon RX 400 cards
The November 1 release adds NVIDIA and AMD implementations and repairs statistics on older AMD cards. Its sample hashrates do not include the power needed to judge running costs.
Bitcoin hashprice lost 17.27% across October: November starts near $33 per PH/day
Primary hourly index points show a weaker revenue base entering November. A 200 TH/s, 3 kW example explains why the same miner can clear its power bill at one tariff and fall short at another.
Cherkasy adds emergency power cuts at 08:52: mining plans need more than the hourly schedule
The operator’s November 2 alert says emergency cuts apply alongside scheduled outages. The 06:00–24:00 restriction window is not eighteen hours without power for every address.
BzMiner 100.60 improves Pearl mining and tunes Quantus for RTX 5000 cards
The October 30 release targets several NVIDIA and AMD GPU families. Its published benchmarks also show why power limits and measured consumption must be read separately.
EMCD brings pool earnings and worker status into Tether MDK
EMCD announced an open-source Pool Worker with no additional integration fee. The practical change is a shared view of pool and hardware data, while MDK remains under development.
Oklahoma groundwater cooling restrictions take effect for data centers
SB 259 takes effect November 1. It restricts evaporative or once-through groundwater cooling and requires a low-consumption system to obtain a groundwater permit.
