The Bitcoin network just fine-tuned a key parameter to coax back miners who quit after last week’s halving hammered their profits. More than 20 exahashes per second (EH/s) of computing power – the equivalent of around 1.5 million older-generation mining machines – has been switched off from Bitcoin since the network’s halving.

The once-in-four-years event reduced miners’ block rewards from 12.5 to 6.25 bitcoin (BTC) per block. The hash rate drop after the […]

Attorney Sol Wisenberg shared with Laura Ingraham on the Ingraham Angle tonight that the actions of Judge Sullivan go against the results of a recent case on the matter in the DC Circuit.
