Title: What is 'G' when it comes to difficulty of shares? Post by: the joint on October 09, 2013, 02:08:56 PM I was mining some litecoins and found a share at difficulty "2.22G"
What the hell is G? If 2.22M is 2.22 million, then G is...? Title: Re: What is 'G' when it comes to difficulty of shares? Post by: RaTTuS on October 09, 2013, 02:11:29 PM how would you represent 1000M ?

1,100,000,000 Title: Re: What is 'G' when it comes to difficulty of shares? Post by: the joint on October 09, 2013, 03:23:57 PM 1.1G is 1.1 billion. Or written another way: 1,100,000,000 Like a "gigashare" or something? Would a trillion difficulty share be T for tera, and a quadrillion difficulty share be P for peta?

I thought a gigahash is a certain number of hash calculations, e.g. 1 gigahash/s is 1,000,000,000 hashes calculated per second. Therefore, I think I'm just talking about one hash calculation that satisfied both the difficulties for an acceptable share value (in this particular case, d=128) and for solving a block (d=68.2M). That's why I called it a gigashare, and I put it in quotes because I wasn't sure what else to call it. Title: Re: What is 'G' when it comes to difficulty of shares?
