    Thanks for the great explanation as always. I thought I knew everything about mining reward, but I was wrong. Thanks for adding the rookie mistake detail in the end. Turns out everyone can add bugs. 😜 By the way, could that bug be fixed after the fact? Who or what sets the difficulty? And how? Does it create a new block that defines the difficulty?

    Hy I have a question.
    Is it better for a miner to drive with normal diff or is a higher diff better?
    I understood that it depends on more ( coin, time, global diff, global hashrate, poolhashrate, my hashrate and more )
    What I have not understood is how I find my best diff.
    For example :
    Currently mine me with a scrypt Asic about 400Mh/s
    Wiki says the best diff is 32678
    If I do this for an hour I get one or two small wins, but I set the miner to 8192
    I get 20 - 25 finds in one hour with a very small reward Al's before but much more often and all in all it makes a difference.
    But then again miningrigrentals and some others say that the diff should be at least 10x higher but then I don't find anything.
    I would be very grateful for any useful information about this.
    Lg and happy Mining

      @dizzyrocket2000 Před 2 lety

      Imagine this: After block 2015 was created something happened where a huge number of miners suddenly disappeared from the network. This would leave a much smaller number of miners to mine block 2016. Now there are fewer miners but the mining difficulty remains the same as it was for the previous 2015 blocks, so this means it will take this smaller number of miners much longer to solve the hash

      @@guitarheroprince123 If the client has to choose between two chains. It will choose the chain with the highest cumulative difficulty. So for example if there is a chain with three blocks, each having 200 of difficulty, and another chain with five blocks having each 30 of difficulty, the first one will be picked.
      It can prevent attackers to mine a longer chain with artificially lower difficulty in order to get the longest one and to be accepted by the network as the "true" chain.
      Also, it's very unlikely that two concurrent chains have the same cumulative difficulty. It's so unlikely that the problem will probably never happen. Having two chains of the same length though, is much more likely.

    I dont see the point in changing the difficulty... why does it have to be 10 minutes. What advantage does that give? Why make it more difficult and wasteful if there is nothing to gain from it. And what IS difficulty? More numbers? Bigger numbers?

    • @kornbread5359
      @kornbread5359 Před 4 lety

      If everyone is running RANDOM calculations then that is horribly inefficient. The blockchain is not random right...? Each key is mathematically related to the next? Meaning that all keys are related to eachother and that there is an equation that can be used to figure them out?

      It allows for better syncing of nodes as the blocks can relayed better and reduce bandwidth requirements.
      Since bitcoin is more full nodes heavy smaller blocks and 10 minute block time makes it easier to run.. Maybe 10 minutes is to much but it does allow a much more secure environment.
