Difficulty represents the number of hashes that are expected to minify the block, As a multiple The number of hashs expected for the least insufficient block.
Minimum difficulty block is required 2256 /(65535 * 2208 + 1)≈4295032833.000015… Hash on average. This corresponds to the internal target of 65535 * 2208 (A value that the block hash cannot exceed). This is a target for the Genesis block, and the Bitcoin consensus rules do not allow the target to be higher (or in other words, it does not allow the difficulty to drop below 1).
At the time of writing, the most recent block is block 885202. 110568428300952.69. This means that the average number of hashs per block is 474895029845799917243854.3. The value is approximately 278.652or 1619.662so in reality it corresponds to about 20 hexadecimal zeros, or 80 bits of hash.
So:
- 1.a.No.
- 1.B. The difficulty is not the expected number of hash itself, but how many times a block is more difficult than the easiest block.
- 1.C. The number of hashes is rough 4295032833 Difficulty level.
- The block header has a 32-bit Nonce, but it’s far from the only one that differs from miners. The header also has a timestamp (which can be incremented every second), and Coinbase transactions contain variable-sized “extra-nons”. Finally, miners can change the structure of transactions within a block. All of these aspects are hashed into blocks. Therefore, any of these variations is effectively equivalent to having more non-CE locations. The actual 32-bit block header Nonce will overflow more than once per millisecond in mining ASIC without these additional aspects.
