Halving

The subsidy drops by half every 210,000 blocks. Height, hashrate, and difficulty are read now. The day count assumes ten minutes a block, which is the target, not a promise. The month of daily hashrate is on hashrate. Fees and a lookup stay on Bitcoin. How much of the latest rewards were fees is on miner take.

About this desk

What you use it for
Open this for the live Bitcoin height, the subsidy now, how many blocks remain until the next cut, and Lightning capacity.
What the numbers are
Height, hashrate, and difficulty come from mempool.space. The subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks from a start of 50. The day count is blocks left times ten minutes.
What it leaves out
Ten minutes is the target, not a promise, so the date moves. The month of daily hashrate is on the hashrate desk. Fees miners earn are not inside the subsidy.

Every desk is introduced the same way on the desk list.
