I was wondering... What is the block with the lowest hash, or what are the, say, 10 blocks with the lowest hashes? Is there a list? Also, until which difficulty would these blocks be accepted in the blockchain?

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

Once they are in, they are in forever. As for under which circumstance they can be accepted if they were discovered now, they would need to satisfy the requirement of being lower or equal than the target.

Yeah, I know, sure, sorry for the confusion What I mean is: How high could the higherst difficulty be at the time the block gets mined given its hash? If I mine a block and it satisfies the current difficulty (is under the respective threshold), it could very well satisfy a difficulty multiple times higher than the actual difficulty at that time

If I mine a block and it satisfies the current difficulty (is under the respective threshold), it could very well satisfy a difficulty multiple times higher than the actual difficulty at that time Depends on the hash. I remember 2 or 3 years ago, there was a hash that was 20 billion(i.e it had more zero bits than the requirement), when the difficulty was but just less than a million. However a hash that is just slightly above the current difficulty will not be able to satisfy the requirement if the network difficulty was higher than the hash's. Example: If the difficulty was 1, the hash's diff was 2, it would satisfy the diff requriement of 1, but it wouldn't if the network difficulty was higher than the hash's. Actually, it's a bit of a misunderstanding I suppose, we are looking for the lowest hash, so basically <= target. Difficulty is just a human readable representation.

Yeah, the lower the hash the more targets it will pass (i.e. satisfy a higher difficulty). So I'm looking for blocks that had an incredibly low hash (satisfying maybe a difficulty we won't see for some time!) I think you also though of an example.

That's a good question! I don't know, though whether there's a list for that. If you had the Blockchain at hand and could query for that kind of data, I guess one could find some interesting blocks though. Has anyone those capabilities???

It's not really as interesting as you think. You would look at it for 5-10 seconds and move on.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29675.0I don't think anyone maintains a list.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29675.0I don't think anyone maintains a list. Ah awesome! That's pretty interesting! So currently we are at: So the block would be accepted at a difficulty 5896.74 times higher than today's difficulty! Awesome!

Which is to say the block hash would've been valid for even decades to come, maybe just one decade, who knows.

I don't know maybe Genesis block (the first block) or a block when BTC still don't have price

I'm guessing this is like someone winning the lottery but with no reward other than a single block
