Bitcoin mining operations are on the path to full recovery following the most dramatic short-term disruption in network history earlier this year, and miners are reaping the rewards in revenues.  In its Oct. 4 Week on Chain report, on-chain analytics provider Glassnode reports that Bitcoin hashrate has largely recovered despite 50% of the network’s hashing power going offline in May following China’s crackdown on the sector. Hash rate measures the total computational resources of a Proof-of-Work network. Glassnode asserts that both hash rate and mining difficulty — which measures competition among miners seeking to solve the network’s next block — are both on a “consistent path to recovery.” Cointelegraph reported that difficulty slumped by 28% in early July.
