What does work= mean in the data files?  Newbie question I know.  I've searched everywhere asked some of my friends who run 🏃‍♀️ btc and no answers.

I suggest you keep only one of the posts active and delete the other, or simply lock it.

I am refering to this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5485328.msg63670605#msg63670605

No reason to open the same subject twice.

I thought  you've been answered by one of the Mod.
If its  not satisfying and you feel you are not getting what you want, then  you could  make a reference post not a new post and it should be locked you can reserve it until you get your answer or you can just  keep only 1 active to avoid plagiarism, besides, I don't think you can't plagiarise yourself on this forum

What does work= mean in the data files?

Besides opening a superfluous second thread for your same question as apogio pointed out. What do you expect if you can't properly give details? If you're asking about log2_work=<number> in debug.log file of Bitcoin Core, then why not ask with the exact specific detail?

log2_work=94.739653 means 2^94.739653 hashes (that's about 33,073,284,885,352,021,874,247,695,614) would be needed statistically to rebuild the current blockchain.


If you meant something else, then show the proper content of the "data files" you're talking about otherwise it's pointless guesswork.
