Bitcoin mining pool once handling 2.3% of network shuts after hashrate falls 65%

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Crypto exchange Binance is shutting the bitcoin mining pool it launched in April 2020, with the computing power directed at the service down nearly two-thirds from the end of last year.

Binance Pool had an estimated 26 exahashes per second, or 2.3% of Bitcoin’s network, in December, according to Hashrate Index.

Its latest table puts the pool at about 9.2 EH/s, under 1% and ranking 11th.

That works out to a decline of roughly 65%.

One exahash per second is a quintillion guesses every second at the puzzle that earns a bitcoin block.

A mining pool combines work from many machines so their owners receive regular payments instead of waiting to find a block alone.

Binance used a payout model known as full pay-per-share, or FPPS, paying miners for their work and taking on the risk that the pool found fewer blocks than expected.

The exchange said earlier this week that Binance Pool, Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, its transaction accelerator and related services will close at 7 a.m.

10, citing an ongoing review of its products and services.
