The blockchain hashrate indicates the processing power expended in maintaining the security of the network and executing transactions. This is the rate at which a mining rig or network can perform cryptographic calculations.
Is increasing LTC hash rate healthy for the network?
Litecoin thanked Dogecoin for the good news as the networks are mining together in an effort to strengthen their security. The increase in the number of LTC miners is primarily due to the impressive price action registered by LTC, which increased to the 8% increase seen last week.
On the other hand, even if the hashrate has increased, it has gone in the opposite direction for daily active addresses as it has dropped dramatically over the past couple of days.
