That's a wrap on Blockchain Life 2025! 🎉
Dubai was incredible. The conversations, connections, and energy were exactly what we needed.
Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth, challenged our assumptions, and shared what you're building. Meeting people who genuinely care about Bitcoin's decentralization reminded us why we started this.
Next up: Mining Disrupt next week, where our CEO Andrei Kapeikin joins a panel on mining infrastructure. Hope to see some of you there!
In the meantime, we've been reflecting on what the industry really needs - more independent pools, real innovation, and diverse voices.

We hold #1 Daily PPS efficiency globally. Here's what that means - and how to check it yourself.
Daily PPS efficiency = how much of the theoretical maximum reward your pool actually delivers. For every dollar the network says you should earn, how many cents does your pool pay?
Most pools land around 97-99%. The gap comes from block template inefficiency, share submission delays, rounding. Small percentages but they compound fast at scale.
Neopool has held the top spot on miningpoolstats consistently. Not our claim, third-party data.
Check it yourself:
→ Go to miningpoolstats
→ Sort by Daily PPS efficiency
→ Compare your current pool.

Most global mining pools are blocked or restricted in RU region. Neopool isn't.
If you're mining in RU region and connecting to your pool through a VPN - you're paying a hidden tax on every hash.
Every millisecond of added latency means shares arriving late. VPN disconnects mean workers going offline for hours before you notice.
Neopool works natively across RU region. Direct connection. Full speed. No workarounds.
One less thing between your hardware and your payouts → neopool.com

📊 Weekly Mining Digest | Mar 17-21, 2026
BTC: $70,400 (-5% WoW)
Difficulty: 134T (-7.8%)
Network hashrate: ~930 EH/s (down from 1 ZH/s in early March)
Hashprice: ~$32/PH/day (pre-adjustment — expect improvement)
Block time: 10 min 47 sec average
Neopool stats:
→ Efficiency: #1 Daily PPS globally (miningpoolstats.stream)
→ Uptime: 100% through the market stress
This week in three sentences:
The network just had its biggest difficulty relief since 2021. Public miners are exiting Bitcoin for AI at an accelerating rate. The miners who stayed just got an 8% revenue bump.
What's happening behind the numbers:
Bitfarms voted to rebrand as Keel Infrastructure and exit Bitcoin mining (March 20). Cango reported $452M loss from mining, selling 4,451 BTC to fund AI pivot. MARA launched AI JV with Starwood Capital. Public miners collectively sold 15,000+ BTC from reserves this quarter.
Every miner that exits = lower difficulty = higher revenue for those who remain. And the exits are accelerating.
Meanwhile, SEC and CFTC issued joint guidance classifying mining rewards as digital commodities, not securities. Regulatory clarity for US-based operations.
Hardware update:
→ Canaan A16 XP (300 TH/s, 12.8 J/TH) — shipping now
→ MicroBT M6DS++ (556 TH/s, hydro, 15.5 J/TH) — entering market
→ BGIN Blockchain: 4nm BT1 ASIC tape-out successful. New ASIC manufacturer incoming
At Neopool: zero downtime. Your hashrate keeps earning while the network recalibrates.
Next difficulty adjustment: ~April 3-4

📉 BTC at $70K. Difficulty at 144T. Here's how much your pool choice is costing you right now
Let's run the numbers for an Antminer S21 (200 TH/s) at current market conditions:
Daily revenue per machine: ~$4.78
Monthly revenue (100 machines): ~$14,340
Now compare two pools:
→ Pool A: average efficiency (industry benchmark)
→ Pool B: #1 Daily PPS efficiency (Neopool)
The difference: 1-2% in effective payout
On 100 machines that's $143-287/month. $1,716-3,432/year. Gone. Not to fees - to rounding errors, suboptimal block templates, and share submission delays
At $100K BTC this was noise. At $67K with difficulty at 144.4T, it's the margin between profitable and unprofitable
Three things you can verify right now:
1. Your pool's Daily PPS ranking → miningpoolstats.stream
2. Your actual vs expected payout → compare last 30 days
3. Payout timing → daily settlements reduce exposure to price swings
We publish our efficiency ranking publicly. Third-party verified. If your current pool doesn't - ask yourself why

📊 Weekly Mining Digest | Mar 21-28, 2026
BTC: $66,570 (-5.4% WoW)
Difficulty: 133.79T (unchanged, next adjustment ~April 1)
Network hashrate: ~1,000 EH/s (recovering from 930 EH/s)
Hashprice: $31.41/PH/day
Block time: 9 min 32 sec (faster than target)
Neopool stats:
→ Efficiency: #1 Daily PPS globally (miningpoolstats.stream)
→ Uptime: 100%
This week in three sentences:
Public miners are dumping Bitcoin and pivoting to AI at record pace. The hashrate is recovering anyway — private operators are filling the gap. And CoinShares says 15-20% of the global fleet is now mining at a loss.
What happened:
MARA sold 15,133 BTC for $1.1 billion — the largest public miner abandoned its HODL strategy. Proceeds went to retire $1B in convertible debt. Core Scientific liquidated its entire treasury (2,537 BTC) and secured a $500M Morgan Stanley loan for AI data centers. Riot signed an AMD deal to convert Texas facilities to AI inference. CleanSpark sold 97% of February production.
CoinShares Q1 2026 Mining Report: weighted average cash cost to produce 1 BTC among public miners was $79,995 (Q4 2025). At $66,570 BTC, most public companies are underwater on a fully-loaded basis. The report projects some miners will derive 70%+ of revenue from AI by end of 2026.
Meanwhile, hashrate is recovering: from 930 EH/s post-adjustment to ~1,000 EH/s in one week. Block times are running 9:32 vs the 10:00 target — next difficulty increase projected at +4.9% around April 1.
The public sector is leaving Bitcoin. The network doesn't care. Difficulty adjusts, efficient operators earn more, and the cycle continues.
At Neopool: zero downtime. Your hashrate keeps earning while the market restructures.

⛏️ What actually happens in the 10 seconds after a mining pool finds a block? Step by step
Most miners connect to a pool, see hashrate on a dashboard, and collect payouts. But between your ASIC submitting shares and BTC landing in your wallet - there's a precise sequence of events
Here's the full process:
1. Your ASIC hashes block headers millions of times per second, varying the nonce each attempt
2. The pool sets "share difficulty" - typically 1,000x easier than network difficulty. Every time your machine hits this threshold, it submits a "share" as proof of work contribution
3. One of the shares happens to meet full network difficulty - this is the block solution. The pool detects it immediately
4. Pool broadcasts the valid block to Bitcoin nodes worldwide. Speed matters here - if another pool finds the same block first, your work is wasted. Milliseconds count
5. Network validates the block. The block subsidy (3.125 BTC post-halving) + transaction fees are released to the pool's address
6. Pool calculates each miner's share of the reward based on submitted shares. This is where payout models differ:
→ PPS: fixed rate per share, pool takes all risk
→ FPPS: PPS + proportional transaction fees
→ PPLNS: payout only when block is found, based on recent shares
7. Payout hits your wallet. Some pools settle weekly. Neopool settles daily
Steps 4 and 6 are where pool engineering makes the biggest difference. Block propagation speed and payout precision - that's what separates a good pool from an average one
