比特幣（BTC）挖礦難度創下109.78兆新紀錄，算力觸及800 EH/s大關

繼週日上一次調整上漲1.16%後，比特幣挖礦難度上升109.78兆，再創新高。

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has increased by 1.16% in the latest adjustment, reaching a new high of 109.78 trillion, according to CoinWarz data. The metric, which showcases the difficulty encountered in solving cryptographic problems for a mining process, has surged by 24% in the last 90 days and 52% in the last 3 months of the year.

根據CoinWarz數據顯示，在最新調整中，比特幣挖礦難度增加了1.16%，達到109.78兆的新高。該指標展示了解決採礦過程中的加密問題所遇到的困難，在過去 90 天內飆升了 24%，在今年最後 3 個月中飆升了 52%。

Such consistent growth highlights the network’s stability and the increasing competition among miners. These adjustments occur approximately once every two weeks to ensure stable block production, a feature implemented into the Bitcoin system by its anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

這種持續成長凸顯了網路的穩定性和礦工之間日益激烈的競爭。這些調整大約每兩週進行一次，以確保穩定的區塊生產，這是由匿名創建者中本聰在比特幣系統中實現的功能。

The next mining difficulty adjustment is expected on January 14. Initial estimates suggest that the figure might decrease slightly by around 8% to approximately 100.7 trillion. This reduction could ease some of the pressure on miners operating amid volatile markets.

下一次挖礦難度調整預計將於 1 月 14 日進行。這一減少可能會減輕礦商在動盪的市場中運作的一些壓力。

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s hashrate, which represents the total computing power of the network, has recently crossed the 800 EH/s mark for the first time. The achievement was noted by Blockchain.com on December 15, indicating strong network fundamentals.

同時，代表網路總運算能力的比特幣算力最近首次突破 800 EH/s 大關。 Blockchain.com 於 12 月 15 日指出了這項成就，顯示網路基礎強勁。

Bitcoin’s price has seen significant波动, hitting highs of $108,135 earlier this month before dropping to $93,638 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko. Some analysts have observed that price trends may follow the hashrate in the long term, based on analysis of the data.

根據 CoinGecko 的數據，比特幣的價格大幅波動，本月稍早觸及 108,135 美元的高位，然後在撰寫本文時跌至 93,638 美元。一些分析師觀察到，根據數據分析，從長遠來看，價格趨勢可能會跟隨算力變化。

Bitcoin Miners’ Revenue Rises Despite Hashprice Decline

儘管哈希價格下跌，比特幣礦工的收入仍在成長

Bitcoin miners have already surpassed their November earnings, accumulating over $1.33 billion in December with only one day left in the month. In November, the revenue stood at $1.21 billion, with on-chain fees reaching $38.73 million, while December has seen $37.69 million in fees so far. As the year comes to a close with 48 hours left, miners are set to exceed the fees collected in November.

比特幣礦商在 12 月份的盈利已經超過了 11 月份，在 12 月份只剩一天的情況下，其盈利已超過 13.3 億美元。 11 月的收入為 12.1 億美元，鏈上費用達到 3,873 萬美元，而 12 月迄今的費用為 3,769 萬美元。距離今年結束還有 48 小時，礦工的費用將超過 11 月收取的費用。

While the hashprice per petahash per second has decreased from $61.78 to $55.57 in the past month, the higher Bitcoin prices and record hashrate of 805 EH/s have prevented the degradation. This enhancement in mining efficiency has led to higher revenue.

雖然過去一個月每 petahash 的哈希價格從 61.78 美元下降到 55.57 美元，但較高的比特幣價格和創紀錄的 805 EH/s 哈希率阻止了價格下降。採礦效率的提高帶來了更高的收入。

A planned adjustment to the mining difficulty on December 29 is expected to cause a slight increase, with an average block interval of 9 minutes and 53 seconds. The network’s current hashing rate is 791.45 EH/s across 65 mining farms, each with a minimum mining power of 286.33 KH/s.

12月29日計畫調整挖礦難度，預計將造成小幅提升，平均出塊間隔為9分53秒。該網絡目前的哈希率為 791.45 EH/s，遍布 65 個礦場，每個礦場的最低算力為 286.33 KH/s。

Russia to Ban Crypto Mining in Ten Regions

俄羅斯將禁止十個地區的加密貨幣挖礦

In other news, the Russian government has announced that cryptocurrency mining will be banned in ten regions for six years due to high energy consumption. The ban will be effective from January 1, 2024, to March 15, 2031, and will also apply to mining pools in the affected regions.

其他消息，俄羅斯政府宣布，由於能源消耗過高，將在 10 個地區禁止加密貨幣挖礦，為期六年。該禁令的有效期限為2024年1月1日至2031年3月15日，也適用於受影響地區的礦池。

The areas impacted by the ban include Dagestan, North Ossetia, and Chechnya, with the list to be amended over time based on energy requirements. Other measures include a ban in other zones during periods of peak load, as part of the policy.

受該禁令影響的地區包括達吉斯坦、北奧塞梯和車臣，該清單將根據能源需求隨著時間的推移進行修改。作為政策的一部分，其他措施包括在高峰負荷期間禁止在其他區域使用。

Russia legalized crypto mining in July, with the law being adopted in August. However, while the country has banned the use of cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions, it permits cross-border payments to avoid sanctions imposed after invading Ukraine.

俄羅斯於 7 月將加密貨幣挖礦合法化，並於 8 月通過了該法律。然而，儘管該國禁止在日常交易中使用加密貨幣，但允許跨境支付以避免入侵烏克蘭後實施的製裁。
