On April 6, 2023, Bitcoin's difficulty rose to another all-time high of approximately 47.89 trillion, making it harder than ever for miners to find blocks. This was the fourth consecutive increase since Feb. 24, with the latest increase being 2.23% higher than the previous two weeks. Despite the difficulty rise, the hashrate remains high at 340.61 exahash per second (EH/s), and last month, it reached 400 EH/s on March 23. The network reached an all-time high hashrate of 414.33 EH/s on March 25, and block intervals are currently under the ten-minute mark, at eight minutes and 29 seconds to nine minutes and eight seconds. Foundry USA found the most blocks over the past three days, with 159 blocks using 117.66 EH/s, or roughly 34.34% of the global network. Antpool captured 95 blocks over the same period, with 70.30 EH/s, or 20.52% of the network's hashpower. (Bitcoin.com)
