CPU Mining Performance Update: Qubic Maintains Strong Lead in Epoch 190
Qubic continues to demonstrate compelling advantages in the CPU mining landscape. Latest epoch data reveals sustained outperformance across key metrics.
The economics speak clearly: Qubic generates approximately $0.77 daily per mining unit, compared to $0.64 for combined XMR and Tari operations, and $0.61 for XMR-only setups. This consistent margin reflects structural advantages in the CPU mining space.
Particularly noteworthy is the deflationary mechanism at work—Epoch 190 saw 41 billion QUBIC tokens burned in a single cy

Independent miners break new records! In the early hours, a Bitcoin miner successfully mined block 927474, earning a single-block reward of 3.133 BTC, which is approximately $284,000 at current prices. In the current environment of fierce network hash rate competition, it is indeed not easy for independent miners to achieve such gains. This success also once again proves that although the trend of ASIC professional mining machines monopolizing hash power is obvious, individual miners still have a chance to get a share. For participants committed to Bitcoin mining, each success is a recognition

Being a leading player in institutional ETH staking means we get to shape what's next for this space. Partnering with issuers on staking ETFs? That's where things get interesting. These products bridge traditional finance with on-chain yield generation, making staking accessible to a whole new crowd of investors. We're doubling down on these collaborations because they matter—both for adoption and for pushing the infrastructure forward.

Looks like my Kaito staking experiment just hit a wall.
Just got my Cysic airdrop for tokens I staked when they were worth 60k. The reward? A grand total of 408.95 CYS—roughly 96 bucks.
Yeah, I'm taking this L. Whatever upside existed here has evaporated. The whole pitch was ecosystem airdrops would make it worthwhile, but clearly that narrative's dead now.
Time to move on.

There is news from Talus about the $US staking hub launch, and the interesting part is that they are offering benefits first to long-term holders.
It means that those who stake early will receive more rewards... early participation definitely has advantages. Moreover, since they are using a fixed interest rate method, profit prediction should be a bit clearer.
It seems to be a strategy to secure initial liquidity, but missing the timing might be disappointing.

Today, the wait is finally over — snapshot deadline + 5x staking multiplier are now live simultaneously.
The leaderboard for a project's 6th anniversary celebration will close tonight. What can the top 100 participants get? Physical gold coins plus on-chain tokenized precious metals. This prize pool is among the top in the entire Web3 space this year.
And the more exciting part:
Once the 5x multiplier is activated, the entire staking yield changes dramatically — short-term pools jump from 47.5% directly to 72.5%, and the mid-term yields are even more outrageous, reaching 95%. Who wouldn't want

Almost missed it! I only found out today that StandX has quietly made its way to the mainnet.
Although the time for the head mine has passed, fortunately, it can still catch up with the current wave. The current 1.5 times points acceleration (previously only 1.2 times) is the most stable income window at present. Sort out the core logic for friends who have just paid attention:
1️⃣ Last train opportunity: The current 1.5x points multiplier is the highest return in the stage, and the deterministic income under the Vaults mechanism is worth participating.

The debt pile facing Bitcoin miners? It's exploded into something almost unrecognizable. VanEck's latest estimates paint a wild picture: miner obligations surged roughly 6X between Q2 2024 and Q2 2025, climbing from $2.1 billion all the way to $12.7 billion. What's fueling this borrowing frenzy? The AI pivot—miners are raising serious capital to fund their strategic shifts into artificial intelligence infrastructure.
But here's where it gets even crazier. By mid-October, that debt figure is projected to hit nearly $22 billion. That's more than a 10X jump from where things stood in Q2 2024. The

The staking data for BTT has been quite interesting lately.
Currently, the total amount of BTT locked on-chain has surpassed 29,915b, and the number of wallet addresses participating in staking has increased to 6,183. What does this number indicate? More and more token holders are willing to lock up their tokens for the long term, actively supporting the operation of the network.
From another perspective, this wave of staking enthusiasm actually reflects one thing—the confidence in the BTT ecosystem is steadily growing. After all, those willing to lock up their tokens are usually the ones who

RIOT stands out in ways most mining operations don't. While competitors fold under pressure, this infrastructure player keeps pushing capacity forward.
What sets them apart? They secured power contracts when rates were low. Smart move. They're expanding their mining footprint strategically, not desperately. And here's the kicker—their setup actually thrives when markets get choppy.
Volatility scares off the weak hands in this space. But when you've locked in operational advantages and built real scale, those same price swings become opportunities instead of threats. That's infrastructure done

Haedal Protocol just crushed a major milestone—HMM total volume hit $1.5B, while LST stakers pocketed over $800k in $haSui rewards.
Not gonna lie, that's some serious momentum building in the Sui ecosystem. The numbers don't lie when liquidity mechanisms actually deliver.

I've gotten into the habit of checking the StandX points dashboard every day.
Points are settled hourly, and the 1.5x multiplier is running as expected. My ranking has climbed from the several thousands to over 4,500 now, which is pretty good. But there's one thing that's really confusing me—why is my Vault actually losing money?
Yesterday my balance was 17,450, but after refreshing today, it's down to 17,436. What's going on? I joined for the returns, but now my principal is actually shrinking?
I hope the Vault's strategy can be adjusted so early participants don't get discouraged. After all,

Word on the street: data centre operators in Australia are eyeing water volumes that could match what 80,000 households use daily. That's according to local water utility reports.
Makes you wonder about the infrastructure costs behind all those server farms—especially for energy-intensive operations. Water cooling isn't cheap, and neither is the environmental footprint. Something to chew on when we talk about scaling compute power.

The cost of mining Bitcoin is now at record levels.
Currently, you need to spend an average of $74,600 to produce a single BTC. Interestingly, when you add all expenses other than energy and hardware, this figure climbs to as much as $137,800.
It's not easy for miners anymore. As profit margins continue to shrink, smaller players may start exiting the industry.

Bagged 21 SOL while I was still dreaming 💰 Late start to the day but woke up to some sweet gains 😴

A new staking opportunity is emerging in the Layer-1 space. Certain platforms are rolling out exclusive programs for STABLE token holders, where verified participants can either deposit existing holdings or acquire tokens directly to join.
What makes Stable interesting? It's positioning itself as a USDT-focused Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin payment infrastructure. The native STABLE token serves as the ecosystem's backbone, and early staking programs could signal growing momentum in the project's development.
For those tracking Layer-1 innovations beyond the usual susp

Mining outfit Cango just added another 130.7 BTC to their stack this week. Total stash? 7,033.1 coins now.
They're clearly not slowing down. The bet here is obvious—current prices won't last. Whether you're bullish on $G or not, one thing's clear: these guys are loading up like there's no tomorrow.

Four days in and still haven't claimed my Axiom rewards yet. Letting them stack up for now. Night folks.

I've been busy dealing with things in real life lately, so I haven't been watching the market for a while. By the way, everyone has probably seen that classic mining trend chart circulating in the community many times, right? If this pattern really plays out this time, judging by historical trends, the potential for an upward move could be quite significant. Once I finish what I have on hand, I'll come back and discuss this topic in more detail.
