Bitcoin hashrate estimate

BTCNodes estimates Bitcoin network hashrate from Bitcoin Core data. Hashrate is inferred from block production and difficulty, not directly reported by miners.

How this estimate works

Bitcoin does not publish a direct live hashrate number. BTCNodes asks Bitcoin Core for an estimate using recent block production and current difficulty.

The 14-day comparison uses 2016 blocks, the same target-size window Bitcoin uses for difficulty adjustment. The number can move around because blocks do not arrive exactly every 10 minutes.
