This one is also neat:

Is it possible to know what produced the lowest hash? i.e. f(x) --> lowest hash. What is f(x)?
f(x) is SHA256(SHA256(x)) and x is the block header.

Half is deceptive due to the nature of binary.
In the first half of the digits there are 2^128 possibilities. Getting all zeroes is one of out 2^128 possibilities the chance of doing that is just as remote as brute forcing a 2^128 private key. Given the number of hashes attempted so far the odds we would have found a hash with 32 zero prefix is about one in one million quadrillion.
Yes the half would be 2^128. And not a private 128-bit key, but symmetrical 128-bit key.In the first half of the digits there are 2^128 possibilities.

I just did not take into account that current number of blocks are way too small to get such result by luck.
FYI, I previously posted on this topic, finding that block 125,552 had a hash that would've been valid at 36,000,000,000 difficulty. Apparently block 125,552 has finally be dethroned...
Indeed. It's still number #2, which is impressive.

2128 is an absurdly large number. I did the math a couple of months ago, and at that time I think I had figured out that the bitcoin project has managed to do about 268 hashes in 4 years. That is actually pretty consistent with this lowest hash.
We're currently at 268.9897 double-SHA256 hashes.
That lowest hash found a few days ago is to be expected after 268.5558 hashes.
At the current hashrate, a hash with 128 zero bits is expected in about 400 million billion years.

I wonder if that is the smallest sha256 hash ever found for any purpose...
That would be neat

Does anyone know what the lowest block hash in the blockchain is? The one with the most zeroes before it?
Just curious, this isn't for anything truly useful.
