So 109.78t

My guess for Jan 1 2026 is

139.98t

but I would like to be wrong.

one of the problems is the s21xp is so much better than a s21 or a s19xp 270th 12-14 watts a th true beast

almost 2x the hash rate of the s19xp

270 at 3700 watts vs 141 at 3100 watts a big improvement for top of the line s19 series to s21 series.

If you go back to Jan 1 last year we were at 72th

I could see 144th if all gear running on jan1 2024 turned into s21xp by jan 1 2026

so 139-144t in a year.

for now lets see how we do.

While we speculate the difficulty of 2025 we are hoping that the best should be triggered.
