The adjustment means discovering a block is now 7.15% more difficult than it was before block 955,584 and the 2,016 blocks that preceded it. The increase lifts the difficulty to 133.87 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>When Satoshi mined the genesis block, the network required a guess beginning with roughly eight leading zeros in hexadecimal to qualify as valid. Today, at a difficulty of 133.87 trillion, a valid hash needs about 22 leading zeros. Each additional leading zero makes the odds exponentially tougher because the target shrinks by a factor of 16 every time.<\/p>\n<h2>Bleeding but Standing<\/h2>\n<p>The difficulty increase arrives as <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s value has fallen 43% over the past 12 months and now sits 51% below its all-time high above $126,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_826733\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-826733\" style=\"width:2356px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-826733\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hashprice over the last month according to <span>Hashrate<\/span> Index.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That decline has weighed on miner revenue, with hashprice, or the expected value of one petahash per second (PH\/s), sitting at $28.68. That figure is 18.34% lower than it was 30 days earlier on May 27, when hashprice stood at $35.12.<\/p>\n<h2>The Stubborn Machine<\/h2>\n<p>Still, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-set-for-steep-drop-as-hashrate-slides-after-price-crash\/\">hashrate<\/a> remains elevated near the 1,000 EH\/s range, sitting at 984 EH\/s at press time. Despite several meaningful drawdowns, <span>Bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s <span>hashrate<\/span> has held firm near that level. Not all <span>hashrate<\/span> is created equal.
