Title: 63 zero hash followed by integer
Post by: timharvey on January 16, 2015, 03:35:31 PM
What if the next bitcoins hash is  63 zeros followed by 7   000...0007   unlikely but possible right, what next???

I don't understand the significance of your post. What if it is? So what?

I think, you want to mean if out of 64 digit first 63 are found as 0 in a block hash. No problem. If the requirement was to find less than 20 zero, next requirement will be less than 21 zero. What is found does not matter to determine the next hash.

Considering that people are running many many miners that can each do trillions of calculations per second, I'd say that 63 zeroes and a 7 is a bit more than unlikely.

Nothing will happen. Bitcoin diff is affected by the rate of block solving, not the difficulty of the successful solves.
