Bitfinex analysts report a resurgence of individual Bitcoin miners entering the market, driven by advancements in mining pool technologies like CKPool, which offer low latency and miner-friendly features. Despite rising costs and competition, these improvements, along with efficient ASICs, load-shifting strategies, and firmware like BraiinsOS, are enabling miners to optimize operations. Social media is also highlighting individual successes, such as a miner who mined a block within a month of deployment. Bitfinex suggests that if large miners exit, mid-sized industrial miners could dominate, while individual miners remain limited in capacity.
