People who have been paying close attention to the overall hashrate pointed to the Bitcoin network will have noticed the numbers increased by 50% over the past week. Part of this growth can be attributed to the new BitFury data center in Georgia, which makes use of the country’s cheaper energy solutions to bring additional mining hardware online. Some people are worried about the number of network blocks being generated right now, but there is no real reason to worry just yet.
