Topic: Mining VS Puzzle Dificulty (Read 174 times)
If you refer to brute forcing address with known range of private key, then it's impossible task. ASIC for mining Bitcoin only can perform SHA-256 while brute-forcing address perform ECDSA operation which convert private key to public key.
Puzzle 66 is more than 2 years without anybody being capable to find its privkey, but compared with the dificulty to mining a block is exponentially easier, why no one put their power hash machines to mine BTC puzzles?
For exemple a mining block hash is
00000000000000000000 53795dbe26e2befb0c081e50826c88997900207d4c90
And puzzle 66 is
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 3a838b13505b26867
It is 27x exponentially easier.
can someone go deeper on this analise of dificulty between a block vs puzzle 66?
