Title: 10000000000000000000 hashes
Post by: Pieter Wuille on May 29, 2011, 03:27:28 PM
With block 127430, the total number of hashes estimated to have been performed as work in the block chain surpassed 10^19, or 10 billion billion hashes.

This may look like a large number, but at the current hashing speed, it would only take around a month to redo all that...
