Of course, the fees will not give the full picture. The Miner of Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, SV and Litecoin, in addition to the fees of each transaction are also block rewards. This from the same, the current low level of fees, although the affected networks to reduce the compensation, however, systematically by the so-called Halving Events.
A User commented on the above Tweet, and wrote: There is already evidence for such a Miner Exodus in the Litecoin network. Both the Mining issue, as well as the Hash Rate has decreased since the LTC Halving Event at the beginning of the summer.
Of more than 480 TH/s at the beginning of August, the network now produces only 252,5 TH/s. The fees are struggling to subsidize the sudden decline of the Miner’s revenue – and the facts seem to indicate that many of the miners have left the network.
Extremely high energy costs
White rabbit adds: The use of the popular Antminer L3++ requires for the production of Litecoin with an energy price of 0,0232 $ per kWh. According to GlobalPetrolPrices.com the Mining makes it with this special unit in the world is unprofitable, except in Burma.
The Mining calculator WhatToMine.com according to, for example, the Mining of Bitcoin, SV stops, then to be profitable if electricity prices rise to more than 11 cents per kWh.
