Network Hashrate
Total computing power securing the Bitcoin network. When hashrate rises, more miners are competing — which usually means difficulty is about to increase. For home miners, rising hashrate means your slice of the pie gets smaller.
Mining Difficulty
How hard it is to mine a Bitcoin block. Adjusts every ~2,016 blocks (roughly 2 weeks) based on hashrate. When difficulty goes up, your miner earns less BTC for the same electricity. This is the single most important number for your profitability.
BTC Market Price
What one Bitcoin is worth in USD. Price rising can offset difficulty increases — even if you're mining less BTC, each coin is worth more. Price dropping while difficulty stays high is the worst-case scenario for miners.
CORRELATION ANALYSIS
Hashrate vs Price
Shows whether hashrate and price are moving together or apart. When they're aligned (both rising), mining economics are stable. When they diverge — especially price dropping while hashrate climbs — profitability is getting squeezed.
Difficulty Adjustments
Positive (difficulty up)
Negative (difficulty down)
Each bar is one difficulty adjustment (every ~2 weeks). Green bars mean difficulty went up — more competition. Red bars mean it dropped — miners leaving the network. A string of green bars means the network is growing and your earnings per machine are shrinking.
NETWORK HEALTH
Mempool Size
The waiting room for unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions. A large mempool means the network is congested and transaction fees are high — which is actually good for miners since fees are part of your revenue. A small mempool means low fees.
Median Block Time
How long it takes to mine one block, targeting 10 minutes. Blocks coming faster than 10 minutes means miners are outpacing difficulty — next adjustment will likely go up. Slower than 10 minutes means hashrate has dropped and difficulty should come down.
Transaction Fees (USD)
Total fees paid by Bitcoin users per day in USD. Fees spike during network congestion — NFT mints, market panic, heavy trading. For home miners, high-fee periods can meaningfully boost your daily earnings on top of the block reward.
MINING ECONOMICS
Miner Revenue (USD)
Total USD earned by all Bitcoin miners per day — block rewards plus transaction fees combined. This is the whole pie. Your share depends on what percentage of total network hashrate your machines represent.
Hashprice ($/TH/day)
What one terahash of mining power earns per day in USD. This is the bottom line — it accounts for difficulty, price, and fees all in one number. Compare this against your electricity cost per TH to know if you're profitable.

Post-Halving: 1.5625 BTC
Bitcoin cuts the block reward in half roughly every 4 years. The last halving (April 2024) dropped the reward from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block. The next one will cut it to 1.5625 BTC. Halvings historically squeeze miners short-term but have preceded major price increases.
