With the rapid development of blockchain technology, mining, as an important mechanism supporting the operation of public chain networks, has undergone a transformation from individual mining to large-scale mining pools. This article analyzes the overall current status of blockchain mining and, in conjunction with the actual situation of individual miners, explores how to effectively optimize personal mining profits in a highly competitive environment, proposing targeted strategies and methods. Blockchain mining is the process of maintaining the stability of the blockchain network and gaining rewards by contributing computing power. The rise of mainstream public chains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has led to the booming development of the mining industry. However, with the continuous improvement of mining machine performance and the intensification of computing power centralization, individual miners face many challenges such as declining profits and rising costs. This article aims to analyze the current state of blockchain mining and propose specific profit optimization paths for individual miners. 1. Current Status of Blockchain Mining 1.1 The trend of mining scale and industrialization is obvious. Currently, the network computing power of major public chains such as Bitcoin and Litecoin has reached extremely high levels. Large mining pools and centralized data centers have become mainstream, making it difficult for individual miners to compete alone. For example, as of early 2025, the global Bitcoin network computing power has exceeded 962.76 EH/s, with large mining pools (such as Foundry USA, Antpool, Binance Pool) occupying the vast majority of the market share. 1.2 Continuous upgrade of mining hardware. Mining machines have evolved from the initial CPU and GPU mining to professional ASIC mining machines. Taking the Antminer S21 as an example, its energy efficiency ratio has reached below 15 J/T, greatly improving the output efficiency under unit power. 1.3 Diversification of mining environments. Different blockchain projects have explored various mining mechanisms, such as Bitcoin's PoW (Proof of Work), Ethereum's transition to PoS (Proof of Stake), and Chia's use of PoST (Proof of Space and Time), prompting miners to seek profit maximization across multiple public chains. 1.4 Increasing impact of energy and policy factors. The application of green energy has become a mainstream trend, with some regions in the United States and Canada promoting renewable energy mining. At the same time, the impact of national policies on mining activities is also increasing, such as China's ban on virtual currency mining, leading to the migration of miners. 2. Research on Personal Mining Profit Optimization.

I will analyze the future trend of ETH (Ethereum) from the following dimensions—technical analysis, fundamental analysis, capital flow, and macro environment. 1. Technical analysis

Key support and resistance: ETH is currently oscillating in the range of $1,800–$1,850, with short-term support around $1,800; if it falls below, it may drop to $1,700; initial resistance above is at $1,900–$2,000, and a significant breakout is expected to challenge the $2,200–$2,300 range. 2. Fundamental drivers

Network upgrades and expansion: With the implementation of EIP-4844 ('Proto-Danksharding') and subsequent sharding, L2 Rollup fees will significantly decrease, enhancing network throughput and user experience, which will long-term boost ETH demand and support prices. ETFs and institutional entry: Several ETH ETFs in the U.S. and Europe have been approved or are in the approval process, expected to bring in billions of institutional capital. CryptoQuant reports that if ETFs continue to attract funds, ETH is expected to reach a new high of $5,000 next year. 3. Capital flow and market sentiment
