What is Ph/s in bitcoin

[youbob]

I heard of kh/s, mh/s, gh/s, th/s, but does this Ph/s mean it's higher than a trillion???

It means Petahash, and I think it's 1000 Terahash.

thanks

Unlike Bytes, hashes don't multiply by 1024 from Terra to Peta. So yep, it's higher than a trillion

All those kilo, mega, giga are metric prefix.

You will see EH/s later (maybe 2 years later)

Blast you beat me to it. I was scrolling down the thread, amazed that nobody had referenced the metric prefix article lol.

I've got a potato that hashes at 20 yoctohashes/second.

I would love to have some of that EH

PH/S does mean Petahash per second, simply a higher speed mining

[oxfardk]

a trillion is pretty a big number ( 10^12 ) but one Petahash is higher

It's a usual metric prefix. There are some good tables with the exact values of them
