Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitcoin mining company Riot said that its goal of reaching a hash rate of 12.5 EH/s in the first quarter will be delayed due to the winter storm that hit the United States in December last year, which caused mining machines to go offline. In January, Riot produced 740 bitcoins, an increase of 12% from the previous month when the power was cut off due to the storm. Of the 2.5 EH/s of computing power affected by damaged pipes in two buildings, a total of 0.6 EH/s has been restored. In addition, as the price of Bitcoin rose, Riot sold 700 bitcoins in January, earning $13.7 million. As of January 31, Riot's hash rate capacity was 9.3 EH/s, and 82,656 mining machines were deployed. (The Block)
