Hey, welcome back to the mining pod. We're doing this show live from our backstage at Consensus CoinDesk in Toronto.

Blockspace is running a stage this year, which is pretty fun for both of us at Consensus.

And we're recording this, you know, on the fly, on the go. But Bitcoin mining news doesn't stop. And so that's why we got to do it

this morning, Colin. Yeah, we're gearing up for a big day of content on the mining stage. We've got a

lot of fun panels planned, some fireside chats, some presentations. So, unfortunately,

this will be happening already when consensus is done. I would say tune into it live, but you can't

do that because that's already over. It's true. I would say tune into it live, but you can't do that

because that's already over. It's true. You probably missed it already. But there's a recording online.

So a lot of good sessions that Colin programmed over the last year. Shout to Consensus and CoinDest for

making that possible. We are going to jump to a break for our sponsor. And then we'll be right back

with a difficulty roundup with hash rate

and index. Today's show is brought to you by fractal Bitcoin, but we'll learn more about them

later in the show. For now, let's get right into it. Okay, we're back. Let's talk about hash

rate and what's been happening in the last week or so. We don't have Matt Kimmel, our difficulty weatherman,

with us, but we do have Colin Harper, who is, you know, a pretty good stand in. We have airsats,

difficulty weatherman. Yeah. So looking at hash rate index, Bitcoin's hash rate has been taking

another dip. It is down to 86, 86, 86. 867-Hash is a second. It's been really kind of chopping

up and down in this trend between like 920 X-A-Hashes and about 850 for the last month or so.

A lot of fluctuation, a lot of oscillation and Bitcoin's hash rate. And as a result, miners will not be seeing as large of a difficulty increase as they would have if we were measuring by block times about a week ago. We're 86% through the current difficulty epoch. It looks like they've got about a 2.6% adjustment coming. So that'll take a hit to hash price. Right now it's at about $55

per day. We'll see that drop a couple of dollars. All things considered not terrible. I think a lot

of people probably figured we'd be a lot higher in the hash rate, you know, sphere currently than we

are. But whether it's tariffs or whether it's, you know,
