随着网络难度飙升 10.5% 至历史新高，比特币 (BTC) 矿工面临越来越大的压力

8 月 1 日，在比特币区块链上创建新区块的难度增加了 10.5% 以上，这给与比特币挖矿相关的运营成本上升带来了压力。

The difficulty to create a new block on the Bitcoin blockchain increased by over 10.5% on Aug. 1, adding pressure to the rising operational costs related to Bitcoin mining.

8 月 1 日，在比特币区块链上创建新区块的难度增加了 10.5% 以上，这给与比特币挖矿相关的运营成本上升带来了压力。

For nearly three months, between May 9 and July 30, Bitcoin’s network difficulty witnessed a significant decline, effectively reducing the computational power required to confirm Bitcoin ( BTC ) transactions on the blockchain.

从5月9日到7月30日的近三个月时间里，比特币网络难度大幅下降，有效降低了区块链上确认比特币（BTC）交易所需的算力。

While a higher network difficulty demands higher computational power for processing Bitcoin transactions, it effectively secures the network against external attacks.

虽然较高的网络难度需要更高的计算能力来处理比特币交易，但它可以有效地保护网络免受外部攻击。

As a result of lower hashrate combined with infrastructure upgrades, several Bitcoin miners — including Bitfarms — recorded higher monthly earrings in July compared to previous months.

由于算力下降以及基础设施升级，包括 Bitfarms 在内的几家比特币矿商在 7 月份的月收入较前几个月有所增加。

However, the network difficulty shot up on July 31 and eventually marked a new all-time high on Aug. 1 at 90.66 trillion. The difficulty increased by 14%, which is positioned to negatively impact miners’ earnings in the near future.

然而，网络难度在 7 月 31 日飙升，并最终在 8 月 1 日创下历史新高，达到 90.66 万亿。难度增加了 14%，这将在不久的将来对矿工的收入产生负面影响。

On the other hand, the Bitcoin network has maintained its hashrate metric for nearly six months at 630 exahashes per second. The hashrate is another security metric determined by the total number of mined blocks and the relative network difficulty.

另一方面，比特币网络的算力指标在近六个月内一直保持在每秒 630 exahash。哈希率是另一个安全指标，由开采的区块总数和相对网络难度决定。

Amid growing financial pressure, Bitcoin mining firms are currently holding on to the BTC rewards in hopes of selling it for a bigger profit in the near future.

在日益增长的财务压力下，比特币挖矿公司目前持有比特币奖励，希望在不久的将来出售它以获得更大的利润。

Cointelegraph 此前采访了 Marathon 首席财务官 Salman Khan，以更好地了解矿工如何决定何时积累比特币以及何时将其转移到比特币上。
