minus-squareVictoria Antoinette linkEnglish1•3 months agothere is no energy requirement at all for either mining method. the protocols are energy-agnostic.
minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_InlinkEnglish1•3 months agoIncorrect. Bitcoin protocol is designed to distribute bitcoin to whoever provides the most energy (work).
minus-squareVictoria Antoinette linkEnglish1•3 months agoit’s all just guess-and-check. a raspberry pi could find the next block even today.
minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_InlinkEnglish1•3 months agoAgreed. Because they can’t provide enough power to prove the required work.
minus-squareVictoria Antoinette linkEnglish1•3 months agoi think you read a word that isn’t there. the work of generating a nonce, hashing the header, and checking for leading zeroes can certainly be done by a raspberry pi in under the 10 minute block time.
minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_InlinkEnglish1•3 months agoA raspberry pi could verify a bitcoin block. It is EXTREMELY unlikely to find the next block.
