April 2024 Work Progress Report: Multiple Node Updates

Transition
to
a
New
ETHW
Block
Explorer

In
our
continuous
effort
to
provide
reliable
and
efficient
tools
for
our
users,
we
have
switched
to
a
new
ETHW
block
explorer
hosted
by

Oklink.
The
previous
block
explorer
was
not
performing
up
to
our
standards,
affecting
users’
ability
to
track
transactions
accurately.
This
change
ensures
that
users
can
reliably
monitor
their
payouts
from
the
pool,
enhancing
transparency
and
trust
in
our
mining
operations.

Significant
Halvings
Impact
Major
Cryptocurrencies

This
April
has
been
a
landmark
month
for
cryptocurrency
mining
at
2Miners
as
Bitcoin
Gold
(BTG)
and
Bitcoin
Cash
(BCH)
underwent
their
scheduled
halving
events,
reducing
the
block
reward
to
3.125
coins
from
the
previous
6.25.
Similar
to
these,
ERG
and
KASPA
have
also
seen
reductions
in
their
block
rewards
following
their
respective
emission
schedules,
with
ERG
decreasing
to
27
ERG
from
30
and
KASPA
to
116.54
KAS
from
123.47.
These
changes
are
crucial
for
miners
to
consider,
and
our
calculator
at

2CryptoCalc.com
has
been
updated
to
help
our
community
recalibrate
their
mining
strategies
accordingly.
