Bitcoin’s hash rate is important, but why? Learn about the measurement and its importance for miners.
could stop trading or delist a currency if the hash rate suddenly drops. So, Is a high hash rate a good measure of a network’s security?
A hash rate, which can be expressed in billions, trillions, quadrillions and quintillions, is a measurement of how many calculations can be carried out each second. For instance, a hash rate of 1BH/s indicates that one billion estimates can be made each second. But, how is Bitcoin’s hash rate measured? Exahashes per second that are equivalent to one quintillion hashes are used to express the hash rate of BTC.
Furthermore, it is essential to note that the Bitcoin network’s mining difficulty is automatically changed after 2,016 blocks have been mined. Therefore, depending on the number of miners and their total hashing power in the mining network, the difficulty can be adjusted either higher or downwards. So, what is Bitcoin’s current hash rate?
That said, the more computational power the Bitcoin network employs, the higher its value is. Moreover, rational miners are only willing to mine BTC if it is profitable, which implicitly means that any other cryptocurrency with no demand for it would have zero value and miners would redirect its resources elsewhere.
