Mining Bitcoin at home

You are losing money now by mining bitcoin

Bitcoin mining was once, as close as you could get to free money. You plugged in your computer, which began solving complicated mathematical problems on the bitcoin ledger, and you were rewarded with bitcoin.

Now, 10 years on since the first bitcoin was mined, competition to solve these complicated puzzles on the blockchain has surged making that free money not so free.

In fact, it’s become so saturated that retail miners who are plugging in their PCs, hoping to earn a quick buck, are now losing money, according to data from Diar, a blockchain and data analytics firm.

The company says the rise of institutional mining companies have squeezed retail miners margins. “Bitcoin miner revenues in the first 6-months of this year surpassed all earnings of 2017,” said Diar. “To date, revenues have exceeded last year by a whopping $1.4Bn. But the record hash rate hit at the end of August saw miners paying retail electricity prices move to unprofitability for the first time in September.”

Mining profitability

The hash rate is a measure of the computing power required to confirm a bitcoin transaction. As competition swelled, so did the hash rates, which in turn drove up electricity bills as miners scrambled to ramp up their mining equipment.

However, these costs have reached levels where only institutional companies can foot the lofty electricity bills, Diar research found. “The investment proposition for smaller miners held true throughout most of this year, but has since become questionable on the back of an increase of computing power competing for the coinbase reward.”

In May, an Elite Fixtures survey found that the average cost to mine a bitcoin in the U.S. was $4,758. But rising electricity prices and mining hardware costs would suggest this average cost has climbed.

Hash rate

Furthermore, the plight of miners has been exasperated by the decline in the price of bitcoin. BTCUSD, -0.48% The world’s largest digital currency has fallen more than 50% year-to-date and is down more than 60% from its all-time high on Dec. 17, 2017.

So for retail investors, unless you’re a student pilfering electricity from your dorm room, rewards from mining are dwindling away. “With big mining operations on low electricity costs running at anywhere between 50-60% gross profit from bitcoin revenues, the market has a lot of room left to grow and, profits to squeeze,” said Diar.

“But bitcoin mining has, at least for now, and most likely in the future, moved into the court of bigger players with deep pockets.”

​Do you know the truth about leap year?

There's a lot more to leap year than a little tweak to the calendar. Jump in and take our quiz to see how much you know about its origins, romantic traditions and memorable moments.

You probably know that 2016 is a leap year. But do you know why?

Leap years are needed to align our modern-day 12-month calendar year with the solar year, or the length of time it takes the Earth to rotate around the sun. The solar year is just a few hours longer than 365 days. If we didn't add an extra day every four years, we'd end up being six hours shy every year and our seasons would get out of sync with the calendar.

Leap years generally show up once every four years and bring an extra day with them in February. This day might not seem like a big deal unless you were born on February 29, otherwise known as a leap day. People who came into the world on that day are called "leaplings," and during non-leap years, they usually celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1. But hard-core leaplings only blow out the candles on February 29.

How familiar are you with leap years and all that's associated with them? Hop right in and test yourself with our quiz.

Mark Zuckerberg Hires 16 Bodyguards; Got ‘Death Threats’ from Users

You thought that only heads of states and countries or authorities of importance needed a bunch of beefed up security guards protecting them. Well, here’s something new. Quite a few chief executives, founders and heads of billion dollar global companies have been threatened by unstable customers and users.

This has prompted many of them to hire guards for protection. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of the social media mammoth Facebook recently increased his security convoy to 16 guards. Zuckerberg was in the news last month for his efforts to build an Artificial Intelligence assistant.

Page Six informs that Facebook has been instrumental in a many break ups and divorces. As a result, users get mad at the website, blaming it unfairly. On top of that, Facebook reported more than a billion “daily active users on average” for December 2015 that might mean that the number of disgruntled and unstable subscribers would be high for this website. Is that why Zuckerberg had to ramp up his army of guards?

Silicon Valley sources point out that as global CEOs, people like Zuckerberg are reaching billions of people every day hence threats from any corner are unnerving. Most CEOs take these very seriously, especially if these extend to the immediate family.


According to The Sun, the 16-people team of security personnel guard Zuckerberg’s properties in San Francisco and California. These bodyguards are patrolling his AU$14 million (£7 million) home in San Francisco and AU$10 million (£5 million) home in Palo Alto, California. The guards work day and night in shifts to ensure the safety of the Facebook founder as well as his wife Priscilla Chan and their two-month-old daughter, Maxima.

However, it seems like the security personnel have managed to annoy the neighbours. News.com.au states that the neighbours have already levelled accusations against the guards for “permanently … illegally” taking up two prime parking spots in the area. Letters have been sent already, but the guards were said to have been instructed by their supervisors to not move the cars under any circumstances, reveals the annoyed neighbours.
Publications have contacted Facebook for comments. However there hasn’t been any response from the company as of this time.
