Interest in Ordinals helps miners earn more again!
According to Mempool.space, November became a very successful month for miners not only due to the Bitcoin exchange rate growth hovering around 34-38.4k, but also a new surge in user interest in Ordinals - digital artifacts in the Bitcoin blockchain. We have already seen something similar in May.
As the number of those who want to leave an inscription in the Bitcoin blockchain grows, the load on its network increases. That means that network commissions also grow, sometimes reaching values commensurate with the block rewards (6.25 BTC).
For instance, in block #817303, the commission earned by the miner was 3.843 BTC or $139.785, which is more than 35% of the total reward for a block (about 10 BTC)!
HashrateIndex also shows how significant the contribution of commissions turned out to be in November compared to previous months:
As a result, Minto’s Autofarm profitability soared to 50% (APR=34%, APY=49%), and the final values in November are very positive and speak for themselves:
