The hash/second units are small, so usually multiples are used, for large networks the preferred unit is terahash (1 trillion hashes), for example, in 2023 the Bitcoin hashrate was about 300,000,000 terahashes per second [1] (that is 300 exahashes or hash calculations every second).
Here is the formal technical definition of the puzzle friendliness property. [2] [1]A hash function H is said to be puzzle friendly if for every possible n-bit output value y, if k is chosen with a distribution with high min-entropy, then it is infeasible to find x such that H( k || x) = y (where the symbol "||" denotes concatenation) in time significantly less than 2 n.
In computer science, locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a fuzzy hashing technique that hashes similar input items into the same "buckets" with high probability. [1] ( The number of buckets is much smaller than the universe of possible input items.) [1] Since similar items end up in the same buckets, this technique can be used for data clustering and nearest neighbor search.
In computer science and data mining, MinHash (or the min-wise independent permutations locality sensitive hashing scheme) is a technique for quickly estimating how similar two sets are. The scheme was published by Andrei Broder in a 1997 conference, [ 1 ] and initially used in the AltaVista search engine to detect duplicate web pages and ...
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. [3] [4] They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.
The estimates are based on a Bitcoin price of $98,866, an average network hash rate of 837 EH/s, and CleanSpark’s hash rate of 42 EH/s for the year ending September 30, 2025.
It’s a Bitcoin mining simulator game that allows users to earn Bitcoin at no initial cost — new users can earn free Satoshi straight away. A Satoshi is a term given to a fraction of a Bitcoin.
In the context of cryptocurrency mining, a mining pool is the pooling of resources by miners, who share their processing power over a network, to split the reward equally, according to the amount of work they contributed to the probability of finding a block. A "share" is awarded to members of the mining pool who present a valid partial proof ...
