Libya is the first Arab country to mine bitcoin

Libya

The CBECI (Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index) data shows that in the Arab world, Libya ranked first with 0.13% of global mining. This followed the uproar over Bitcoin mining in Libya and its link to the country’s electrical situation.

Following is the ranking of the Arab countries:

Libya is in 1st place, with a 0.13 percent share.

UAE and Kuwait are in 2nd place with a 0.08% share for each nation.

Egypt and Jordan are in 3rd place with a 0.04% share for each nation.

Lebanon ranked 4th with a 0.01% share.

In particular, the price of Bitcoin in Libyan dinars is 192,912.13.

Bitcoin mining is the method by which new bitcoins are entered into the flow. It is also a critical factor in the maintenance and development of the blockchain ledger. It is executed using very sophisticated computers that resolve enormously complex computational math glitches.

Cryptocurrency mining is difficult, expensive, and only intermittently rewarding. However, mining has an attractive appeal for many investors involved in cryptocurrency because miners are satisfied with their work with crypto tokens. This may be for the reason that entrepreneurs see mining as “pennies from heaven”.

Ethereum miner revenue surpasses Bitcoin’s for third month in a row

Ethereum

For the third month in a row, Ethereum miners have made more money than Bitcoin miners, the longest streak in history.

Ethereum miners made $1.03 billion in revenue in July, according to The Block’s Data Dashboard, a minor decrease from the previous month.

Bitcoin miners, for their part, earned $971.8 million in July, up over $100 million from June.

While transaction fees have remained a reliable source of revenue for Ethereum miners, this cannot be true for Bitcoin miners. Last month, transaction fees accounted for only 3.1 percent of Bitcoin mining revenue.

Mining revenue is a monetary estimate of the earnings generated by blockchain miners. It’s determined by multiplying each block’s current mining rewards plus transaction fees by the asset’s price for the month. It excludes costs such as power, other operating expenses, and taxes paid by miners.

Bitcoin: Western miners profit hugely, during China’s crackdown

bitcoin

According to a report published by Arcane Research, China’s restriction on Bitcoin mining has resulted in greater profits for Western miners.

Due to the recent decline in the price of bitcoin, Western mining firms have had massive stock market gains in the last month.

China used to be home to a significant share of the global Bitcoin mining hash rate.

Whereas, Miners began to move out of the country in large numbers as the state began to crackdown.

As a result, the worldwide BTC hash rate has dramatically decreased. Western miners now deliver a larger share of the hash rate.

Mining firms are experiencing better earnings as the competition is very low. These profits exceed the losses due to the extent of the BTC price drop, compared with a net gain.

Marathon and Riot are two of the largest mining companies in the west, and their stock prices have risen significantly.
