Hello willi and everyone,
I have a few questions about mining because i'm still a beginner, and would really be happy if you can answer them for me, because i'm sure your an Bitcoin expert.
1- let's take block height 731248 for example, the hash of that block is 0000000000000000000932577f24607495a93060ff4823a7c6f4a2b9db9582ee.
my question is, what is the miner hashing all together that in the end he gets that block hash that is accepted by the network?
could you please write an example, on what hashes something, that is the result of the block hash? which is 0000000000000000000932577f24607495a93060ff4823a7c6f4a2b9db9582ee.
I know that the end hash-result should be starting with a lot of zeros, but i'm always wondering which value(s) the miner is hashing to get that end block hash result.
2- What is a good mining speed nowadays to get a good-imaginable chance to hit a block? in peta/s if possible.
3- Do you think 100 peta/s has a good chance to hit a block?
4- What you think, how much would 100 peta/s would cost to run in term of electricity?
Thank you so much for reading, and have a good day.
