Mining Difficulty - Simply Explained

[@zyprex6]

This is the most comprehensive content I've seen on this subject so far.

[@guitarheroprince123]

can't believe I have ability to watch these high quality educational videos that too for free.

[@simplyexplained]

Glad you like them. I'm really passionate about sharing knowledge and reading comments like this warm my heart!

The information age We're in the birthplace of a new world. And with crypto technology we can really have verified, certified, and decentralized information for us all to interact with. Imagine one day a child is born, you feed it and take care of it physically, but give it a phone and it educates the baby at a interactive level in which thay baby is able to educate itself to competence for this world.

I came across the comments about Mr Corey and I must say he is a genius. I have made huge profits from my investments with him. He’s trading strategies are top notch coupled with the efforts he puts in work to make profits

Mining summed up in first 10 seconds, wow how easy was that and yet I dint come across such short and accurate definition in so many years!!!!!!!

[@gilquadrosflores3571]

Thanks

I can't wait until you drop the video explaining the solutions for the data mining centralization problem!

[@noladick9863]

spent almost all my earnings trying to make profits by trading myself and in that process I lost a lot of money but thanks to my lovely friend who introduced me to the bitcoin trading platform of Mr Corey which has entirely changed my situation to a very productive and successful one.

Still searching that video, there are no choiches, bitcoin is ours only possible solution

[@jenj6776]

I hate myself that I just found you today! :(((((((( You are the best at explaining things in the simplest language my brain can decipher!

[@indigo0086]

I'd love to see what concepts of Bitcoin are old ideas reimplemented and which ones are completely unique

[@aakashshekhawat]

can you please explain how does proof of work works

[@hadrianos1]

Outstandingly good explanation!!

[@HalvingReport]

Does the 2016th block get accounted for in the next block?

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

How is the tuning accomplished or what/how are they simply generating heat to waste time? How did China's decision to bull out change the difficulty? Who benefited? for how long? For how much?

Terima kasih banyak untuk video yang luar biasa ini! Agak di luar topik, tapi saya ingin bertanya: Dompet OKX saya berisi USDT, dan saya memiliki frasa pemulihan. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Bagaimana saya bisa mentransfernya ke Binance?

[@swedo12]

What happens to difficulty adjustment in a free energy environment? More miners, mining cheaper. I assume adjustment goes up and makes 10 min average block time still. But could an attack be easier in this environment?

[@hamza-325]

Satoshi Nakamoto and 6 other bitcoin developers disliked this video (because it criticizes the mining process and exposes a bug 😂)

Thanks for the great explanation as always. I thought I knew everything about mining reward, but I was wrong. Thanks for adding the rookie mistake detail in the end. Turns out everyone can add bugs. 😜 By the way, could that bug be fixed after the fact? Who or what sets the difficulty? And how? Does it create a new block that defines the difficulty?

[@andreabogle5410]

I have never lost a single trade with Mr Corey, it's been all wins. His strategies and signals are topnotch. He has a success rate of 97% on all his trades

[@andreabogle5410]

@Coreytradings.

[@disrael2101]

have u figured it out already if it can be fixed and if so how and who decided it

@@disrael2101 No I haven’t, unfortunately.

[@syedhabeebuddin101]

Satoshi: that mistake is due to for loop and zero based indexing.

PLease explain eth gas limit, gas supply etc

[@ezioauditore9585]

Hey man, your videos are good. Mind making a video on Intle SGX and on SMPC? Would really appreciate that.

[@morishogo144]

So the next change in mining difficulty is in 1 day 14 hours. And it will be reduced from 23 to 20. From 11,6 min average targeting 10mins block time. Do you think the price of the bitcoin because of this will go up or down?

[@JayTailor45]

Nicely explained. Thanks ;)

[@charlesandrew5758]

The reason why most of us don’t make it in this bitcoin business is because we are quick to give up have you tried Mr Corey as well, if you do you won’t leave or look for another, he’s real and good at what he does best.

[@charlesandrew5758]

@Coreytradings.

[@TheHarpanOnly]

Thank you for the explanation. Could you please explain how miner hashrate will correlate to probability of get a coin. Do we need to upgrade our miner hashrate following bitcoin network hashrate?

[@kvelez]

Great explanation.

[@mattcrouch9348]

Wait. Satoshi really made an off-by-one error in the bitcoin core system? Is there a reason it just looks at 2015 blocks, or is it an array indexing oversight?

[@sudarshanmg2604]

Thanks this explained a lot of queries

[@PierreFikota]

Hy I have a question. Is it better for a miner to drive with normal diff or is a higher diff better? I understood that it depends on more ( coin, time, global diff, global hashrate, poolhashrate, my hashrate and more ) What I have not understood is how I find my best diff. For example : Currently mine me with a scrypt Asic about 400Mh/s Wiki says the best diff is 32678 If I do this for an hour I get one or two small wins, but I set the miner to 8192 I get 20 - 25 finds in one hour with a very small reward Al's before but much more often and all in all it makes a difference. But then again miningrigrentals and some others say that the diff should be at least 10x higher but then I don't find anything. I would be very grateful for any useful information about this. Lg and happy Mining

[@moayadbassam]

would be interesting to see a video about possible solutions.

[@ChaceBonanno]

Scrypt proof of work resolves the issue of centralization

[@shubhampawar2207]

Great Explanation!!

[@economics-for-beginners3583]

What does this mean: Xi (nonce) = Hash (Block i) < Hash (Block i−1)

[@GamingwithKentuckianJD]

love the explanation but i feel i still have question. maybe i missed it in the video as i am still new. I am looking at mining 3 different coins when eth stops mining. One has a mining difficulty of 335.67 G, 78.08 M and 55.6m So i should mine the 55.56 M because it is less difficult?

[@VirtualBacon]

awesome!

You are awesome man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your content

Great video!

[@Pedro-lp2kj]

thank you !!! great explanation

[@ImAFlyingPancake]

The longest chain is not the criteria anymore. It's been changed to the chain with the highest cumulative work.

[@guitarheroprince123]

explain more pls?

[@ImAFlyingPancake]

@@guitarheroprince123 If the client has to choose between two chains. It will choose the chain with the highest cumulative difficulty. So for example if there is a chain with three blocks, each having 200 of difficulty, and another chain with five blocks having each 30 of difficulty, the first one will be picked. It can prevent attackers to mine a longer chain with artificially lower difficulty in order to get the longest one and to be accepted by the network as the "true" chain. Also, it's very unlikely that two concurrent chains have the same cumulative difficulty. It's so unlikely that the problem will probably never happen. Having two chains of the same length though, is much more likely.

[@disrael2101]

what about the bug, can it be fixed and if so how one do it like where the source code files are stored and who owns it?

[@yuliyacher67]

Thank you!

[@tamzake]

Great this was useful, thank you

[@aakashsonkusare69]

But how will last blacok take 100 days? You said no matter what one block will always take 10 mins irrespective of no of miners. Please reply.

[@dizzyrocket2000]

Imagine this: After block 2015 was created something happened where a huge number of miners suddenly disappeared from the network. This would leave a much smaller number of miners to mine block 2016. Now there are fewer miners but the mining difficulty remains the same as it was for the previous 2015 blocks, so this means it will take this smaller number of miners much longer to solve the hash

[@disrael2101]

​@@dizzyrocket2000 what about the bug, can it be fixed and if so how one do it like where the source code files are stored and who owns it?

[@natrah01475]

I don't understand the bug part. 2016 100 days? Can someone enlighten me

[@Ones_Complement]

1:54 The "time delay" has nothing to do with the likelihood of one computer outpacing the others. That's just a matter of everyone competing for computational resource. And someone having a faster computer than all others would give them an edge regardless of the difficulty adjustment. This is a very poor explanation.

[@flopybouncer]

thanks! :)

[@kornbread5359]

I dont see the point in changing the difficulty... why does it have to be 10 minutes. What advantage does that give? Why make it more difficult and wasteful if there is nothing to gain from it. And what IS difficulty? More numbers? Bigger numbers?

[@kornbread5359]

If everyone is running RANDOM calculations then that is horribly inefficient. The blockchain is not random right...? Each key is mathematically related to the next? Meaning that all keys are related to eachother and that there is an equation that can be used to figure them out?

[@kornbread5359]

If somebody could solve the whole blockchain instantly or faster then why should they be barred from doing so? As long as the answer is correct, then what is the harm, it would save insane amounts of electricity and time for the computers to do something more useful

[@sameekhan7239]

It allows for better syncing of nodes as the blocks can relayed better and reduce bandwidth requirements. Since bitcoin is more full nodes heavy smaller blocks and 10 minute block time makes it easier to run.. Maybe 10 minutes is to much but it does allow a much more secure environment.

[@TheBitcoinExperience]

Well, miners are incentivise to stay honest and not attack the network. If they do, all the capital they invested in their operations along with the Bitcoin they produce will become worthless.

[@MusicInMae]

U don't have a video strictly explaining a node

I am really shocked how many people don't know this. This is the reason why a hardware investment will hardly be profitable and the energy consumption is skyrocketing. As brilliant bitcoin is but people are just greedy and stupid.

Dude this shit still makes zero sense to me

[@eddie947]

I think I do. I mine ethereum and some days I notice I can mine as low as .002 and as high as .007 coins a day. That is my profit. So basically some days I can mine more coins than other days. The difficulty can cause this fluctuating in profits.
