Hello, I’ve added a couple of new chapters to the “Programming Blockchains Step-by-Step from Scratch (Zero)” and starting with (crypto) hashes… What’s News? Mining, mining, mining! What’s your hash rate? Let’s find out and use the “stand-alone” version of the by now “classic” compute_hash_with_proof_of_work function. Let’s try (run) benchmarks for the difficulty from 0 (4 bits) to 0000000 (28 bits)… On my “low-end” home computer the hash rate per second is… about 100 000. What’s yours?
