BTC SLOPES / Mining & Network
Proof of work, network infrastructure and the people building and maintaining Bitcoin.
Mining & Network
Canaan reiterates that its 8 MW Nordic installation is operating. Customer operation, seasonal demand and project-level costs determine what that says about heat-reuse economics.
Mining & Network
Difficulty follows a consensus calculation. Network hashrate is inferred from block production, with uncertainty that changes across measurement windows.
Mining & Network

Mining & Network
Absolute thresholds and relative delays use different starting points. Understanding their spending paths and Bitcoin’s time measure makes wallet countdowns easier to interpret.

CleanSpark’s October update illustrates how production, hashrate, uptime and energy efficiency measure different parts of a mining operation.
Mining & Network
A new test build puts wallet compatibility and upgrade preparation in focus, while the project’s main download remains version 31.1.
Mining & Network
Bitcoin companies can earn a second income stream from AI infrastructure. Delivered capacity, financing and the fate of displaced mining machines determine what that shift really means.
