Editor's Note

Seven in a row? On Monday, Miners will likely see Bitcoin's seventh consecutive difficulty increase since China's mining ban. All this new (and returning) hashing power isn’t so bad though with BTC trading near $60,000. Hashprice number go up!
 

This weekend’s letter has a particularly wide variety of mining content. We hope you enjoy the memes, videos, charts, and headlines as always. All signs point to Q4 being a wild time for miners. Thanks for reading Mining Memo along the way.
