Bitcoin mining is NOT solving "complex math equations"!

Let's bust this myth in 60 seconds or less. 👇

Absolute excellence. This better be viral elsewhere.


Niiiice


very few people really understands this. thank you for sharing.


it's just guessing :P


oh I love that one. Perfectly explained nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20 Got to show that to someone real quick.


Let's go 🚀


First of all thank you for punking that little rat Chamath. Keep it up if possible 😂

Bitcoin hashing is computationally intensive, especially as competition increases. Makes a lot more sense when framed like this instead of the “complex math” nonsense.


posting it tomorrow on the other social medias! NOSTR gets my new shorts a day in advance 🤙


thank you!

it's rolling a dice with trillion sides. busted


Rolling a die gives you a random output for a given input. If you input the same nonce on a block template, you will always get the same output hash.

It is guess and check, not rolling a dice. And the "check" part is... Wait for it... Math.


The equation is basically Hash(x) < DIFFICULTY.
And it's solving for x. The method it uses to solve the equation just happens to be brute force guessing, but that doesn't mean it isn't solving a difficult equation. Try rewriting that equation with `x` on the left and you'll see how difficult it is.


hash functions seem pretty difficult to me, circuit-wise complexity at least. I don't think it's too unreasonable to say that it's a complex math problem.


Yup that's what I'm trying to say
