U.S. Storm Impacts Mining Difficulty, Not Genuine Stress

Darkfost posted on X. The recent storm in the United States led to a temporary reduction in mining activity, causing block times to increase and necessitating a downward adjustment in mining difficulty. As the storm subsided, U.S.-based miners resumed operations, resulting in a rise in difficulty as GPUs returned online. Block times have now decreased to under 10 minutes, and difficulty is adjusting accordingly. This situation does not reflect genuine mining stress but rather a temporary consequence of the storm's impact on mining operations.
