Block hashing algorithm

Bitcoin mining uses the hashcash proof of work function; the hashcash algorithm requires the following parameters: a service string, a nonce, and a counter. In bitcoin the service string is encoded in the block header data structure, and includes a version field, the hash of the previous block, the root hash of the merkle tree of all transactions in the block, the current time, and the difficulty. Bitcoin stores the nonce in the extraNonce field which is part of the coinbase transaction, which is stored as the left most leaf node in the merkle tree (the coinbase is the special first transaction in the block). The counter parameter is small at 32-bits so each time it wraps the extraNonce field must be incremented (or otherwise changed) to avoid repeating work. The basics of the hashcash algorithm are quite easy to understand and it is described in more detail here. When mining bitcoin, the hashcash algorithm repeatedly hashes the block header while incrementing the counter & extraNonce fields. Incrementing the extraNonce field entails recomputing the merkle tree, as the coinbase transaction is the left most leaf node. The block is also occasionally updated as you are working on it.

A block header contains these fields:

The body of the block contains the transactions. These are hashed only indirectly through the Merkle root. Because transactions aren't hashed directly, hashing a block with 1 transaction takes exactly the same amount of effort as hashing a block with 10,000 transactions.

The compact format of target is a special kind of floating-point encoding using 3 bytes mantissa, the leading byte as exponent (where only the 5 lowest bits are used) and its base is 256. Most of these fields will be the same for all users. There might be some minor variation in the timestamps. The nonce will usually be different, but it increases in a strictly linear way. "Nonce" starts at 0 and is incremented for each hash. Whenever Nonce overflows (which it does frequently), the extraNonce portion of the generation transaction is incremented, which changes the Merkle root.

Moreover, it is extremely unlikely for two people to have the same Merkle root because the first transaction in your block is a generation "sent" to one of your unique Bitcoin addresses. Since your block is different from everyone else's blocks, you are (nearly) guaranteed to produce different hashes. Every hash you calculate has the same chance of winning as every other hash calculated by the network.

Bitcoin uses: SHA256(SHA256(Block_Header)) but you have to be careful about byte-order.

For example, this python code will calculate the hash of the block with the smallest hash as of June 2011, Block 125552. The header is built from the six fields described above, concatenated together as little-endian values in hex notation:

Note that the hash, which is a 256-bit number, has lots of leading zero bytes when stored or printed as a big-endian hexadecimal constant, but it has trailing zero bytes when stored or printed in little-endian. For example, if interpreted as a string and the lowest (or start of) the string address keeps lowest significant byte, it is little-endian.

The output of blockexplorer displays the hash values as big-endian numbers; notation for numbers is usual (leading digits are the most significant digits read from left to right).

For another example, here is a version in plain C without any optimization, threading or error checking.

Here is the same example in plain PHP without any optimization.

What is a Bitcoin Hash?

If you are involved with Bitcoin, then you must have heard about “cryptography” or “hash algorithms”.

But what do these things have to do with your BTCs?

Cryptography or hash algorithms are what keep Bitcoin’s blockchain secure. They are the building blocks of the present-day cryptocurrency industry.

In this article, we are going to talk about cryptographic hash algorithms in detail.

To start with, it is important to have a general idea of what a hash function is and what it does.

What is a Hash?

A hash algorithm takes data of any arbitrary size (numbers, alphabets, media files) and transforms it into a fixed alphanumeric string. The fixed bit size can vary (like 64-bit or 128-bit or 256-bit) depending on what hash function is being used.

And this fixed size output is what is called a hash. In other words, a hash is the cryptographic byproduct of a hash algorithm.

The hash algorithm has certain unique properties:

• It produces a unique output (or hash).
• It is a one-way function.

The mathematics behind the hash algorithm ensures that there is no way to generate the original data from its generated hash. This means the hash only functions in a linear progression. A simple analogy would be that you can’t produce a real human thumb from a thumbprint.

This is why a hash can be treated as a “digital fingerprint” of the data processed through the hash function.

To logically conclude, the same hash will only be generated from the same input data. But if you modify the data with something miniscule, like a single space or a comma, it will completely change the hash output.

And Bitcoin’s blockchain uses this cryptographic hash function’s properties in its consensus mechanism.

What is a Bitcoin Hash?

Bitcoin’s blockchain uses SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm). In 2001, SHA-256 was developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) in the USA.

Bitcoin’s proof of work algorithm is based on SHA-256. Using this, Bitcoin miners solve computationally difficult math problems to add blocks into the blockchain.

Bitcoin blocks are added by verifying the hashes on a lottery basis. Yes, a lottery!!

Let see how a miner wins the lottery…

To successfully mine a block, a miner needs to hash the block’s header in such a way that it is less than or equal to the “target.”

The target, at the time of writing this article, is that the SHA-256 hash of a block’s header must be a 256-bit alphanumeric string, and must start with 18 zeros. The target changes as the difficulty changes every 2016 blocks.

And the miners arrive at this particular hash (or target) by varying a small portion of the block’s headers, which is called a “nonce.” A nonce always starts with “0” and is incremented every time for obtaining the required hash (or target).

Since the varying of the nonce is hit and miss, the chances of getting this particular hash (or target), which starts with these many zeros, is very low. Therefore, many attempts must be made by a miner by varying the nonce.

And this requires an enormous amount of computational power and hardware resources which proves that a large amount of work is carried out before mining any individual block. That’s why this is called “proof-of-work“.

And in this way, whichever miner first obtains the correct Bitcoin Hash will win the lottery and get the block reward of 12.5 BTC.

I am sure that after reading this you want to participate in this lottery. But let me tell you, Bitcoin mining is a costly and energy-intensive affair. It requires you to make expensive hardware investments, pay for huge electricity bills, and demands that you have a good amount of computer knowledge.

And until you are ready to become a miner, keep working hard in your current profession and stay tuned to CoinSutra to keep learning about the Bitcoin Revolution.

Bitcoin hash

A hash algorithm turns an arbitrarily-large amount of data into a fixed-length hash. The same hash will always result from the same data, but modifying the data by even one bit will completely change the hash. Like all computer data, hashes are large numbers, and are usually written as hexadecimal.

BitCoin uses the SHA-256 hash algorithm to generate verifiably "random" numbers in a way that requires a predictable amount of CPU effort. Generating a SHA-256 hash with a value less than the current target solves a block and wins you some coins.

Explain a Bitcoin hash to Me Like I’m Five…

You may have heard the term hash or SHA-256 , but what do they actually mean ?

In order to decide which block of transactions will be entered next to the blockchain some sort of contest is held between the miners. They all get a riddle to solve, but you can’t actually solve this riddle logically – you have to guess the answer.

Imagine that you are a Bitcoin miner, and each time you want to enter your block into the blockchain and get a reward you would be given a combination lock and would need to guess the combination in order to enter your block.

Now let’s say that your computing power or hash/rate is the number of combinations you can guess in a second. So the more computing power you have the faster you’d guess the combination.

Since the Bitcoin network wants to keep the time between blocks created in the blockchain constant, as more miners or computing power are added to the network it will become harder to guess the combination. Just imagine that as more and more people try to guess the combination you will be given locks with more possible combinations.

A hash is just a method used to guess the combination for the lock. It’s used by turning a random large number into a smaller number by taking certain actions. so for example – let’s say that each time you guess the lock’s combination you would randomly pick a large number and take the first, middle and last numbers from it. If this doesn’t work you will randomly pick a different large number and guess again.

Of course the miner’s’ calculations are much more complex but the idea is that you decide on a certain method of action for guessing and execute it until you get the answer.

The SHA-256 or “secure hash algorithm 256”, is just a specific way of hashing. The same way we could have named our previous example for hashing the “99Bitcoins hashing method”.

Using hashing helps the the Bitcoin network stay immuned to alteration and fraud – but more about that in a later video.

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.

Bitcoin Hash Functions Explained

Anyone with an interest in bitcoin will have heard the phrase 'cryptographic hash function' at some time or other. But what exactly does it mean, and how is it connected to cryptocurrency?

Hash functions are an essential part of, not only of the bitcoin protocol, but of information security as a whole.

In the following article we'll take a look at some simple examples of how they work, with a simple demonstration, too.

What's a hash function?

In the abstract, a hash function is a mathematical process that takes input data of any size, performs an operation on it, and returns output data of a fixed size.

In a more concrete example, this can be used to take a sequence of letters of any length as input – what we call a string – and return a sequence of letters of a fixed length. Whether the input string is a single letter, a word, a sentence, or an entire novel, the output – called the digest – will always be the same length.

A common use of this kind of hash function is to store passwords.

When you create a user account with any web service which requires a password, the password is run through a hash function, and the hash digest of the message is stored. When you type in your password to log in, the same hash function is run on the word you've entered, and the server checks whether the result matches the stored digest.

This means that if a hacker is able to access the database containing the stored hashes, they will not be able to immediately compromise all user accounts because there is no easy way to find the password which produced any given hash.

Simple hash functions in Python

You can experiment with hash values using Python, a programming language installed on Mac and Linux operating systems by default. (This tutorial will assume you're using some version of either OS X or Linux, as using Python on Windows is more complicated.)

First, open a terminal, type python and hit ENTER.

This will put you into the Python REPL, an environment where you can try out Python commands directly as opposed to writing a programme in a separate file.

Then, type the following, pressing ENTER after each line, and TAB where marked:

You have now created a function, hash() , which will calculate and print out the hash value for a given string using the MD5 hashing algorithm. To run it, put a string in between the parentheses in quotation marks, eg:

And press ENTER to see the hash digest of that string.

You will see that calling the hash function on the same string will always generate the same hash, but adding or changing one character will generate a completely different hash value:

Hash functions in bitcoin

In the bitcoin protocol, hash functions are part of the block hashing algorithm which is used to write new transactions into the blockchain through the mining process.

In bitcoin mining, the inputs for the function are all of the most recent, not-yet-confirmed transactions (along with some additional inputs relating to the timestamp and a reference to the previous block).

In the code example above, we've already seen that changing a small part of the input for a hash function results in a completely different output. This property is crucial to the 'proof of work' algorithm involved in mining: to successfully 'solve' a block, miners try to combine all of the inputs with their own arbitrary piece of input data in such a way that the resulting hash starts with a certain number of zeroes.

As a basic demonstration, we could try 'mining' with our Python hash function by manually adding exclamation points after "CoinDesk rocks!" until we find a hash that starts with a single zero.

Of course, solving the hash for a bitcoin block – which at the time of writing must start with 18 zeros – requires an extremely large amount of computation (and so the combined processing power of all the computers in the network still takes approximately 10 minutes to solve a block).

It's the need for this large amount of processing power that means new bitcoins get mined over a long period of time, not all at once.

In order to earn bitcoins through mining, you need to put in the huge amount of work necessary to solve a block – and by earning that reward, you're locking in all of the new transactions into a block, which is added to the permanent record of all previous transactions: the blockchain.

How Bitcoin Mining Works

Last updated: 29th January 2018

When you hear about bitcoin "mining," you envisage coins being dug out of the ground. But bitcoin isn't physical, so why do we call it mining?

Because it's similar to gold mining in that the bitcoins exist in the protocol's design (just as the gold exists underground), but they haven't been brought out into the light yet (just as the gold hasn't yet been dug up). The bitcoin protocol stipulates that 21 million bitcoins will exist at some point. What "miners" do is bring them out into the light, a few at a time.

They get to do this as a reward for creating blocks of validated transactions and including them in the blockchain.

Backtracking a bit, let's talk about "nodes." A node is a powerful computer that runs the bitcoin software and helps to keep bitcoin running by participating in the relay of information. Anyone can run a node, you just download the bitcoin software (free) and leave a certain port open (the drawback is that it consumes energy and storage space – the network at time of writing takes up about 145GB). Nodes spread bitcoin transactions around the network. One node will send information to a few nodes that it knows, who will relay the information to nodes that they know, etc. That way it ends up getting around the whole network pretty quickly.

Some nodes are mining nodes (usually referred to as "miners"). These group outstanding transactions into blocks and add them to the blockchain. How do they do this? By solving a complex mathematical puzzle that is part of the bitcoin program, and including the answer in the block. The puzzle that needs solving is to find a number that, when combined with the data in the block and passed through a hash function, produces a result that is within a certain range. This is much harder than it sounds.

(For trivia lovers, this number is called a "nonce", which is a concatenation of "number used once." In the case of bitcoin, the nonce is an integer between 0 and 4,294,967,296 .)

Solving the puzzle

How do they find this number? By guessing at random. The hash function makes it impossible to predict what the output will be. So, miners guess the mystery number and apply the hash function to the combination of that guessed number and the data in the block. The resulting hash has to start with a pre-established number of zeroes. There's no way of knowing which number will work, because two consecutive integers will give wildly varying results. What's more, there may be several nonces that produce the desired result, or there may be none (in which case the miners keep trying, but with a different block configuration).

The first miner to get a resulting hash within the desired range announces its victory to the rest of the network. All the other miners immediately stop work on that block and start trying to figure out the mystery number for the next one. As a reward for its work, the victorious miner gets some new bitcoin.

At the time of writing, the reward is 12.5 bitcoins, which at time of writing is worth almost $200,000.

Although it's not nearly as cushy a deal as it sounds. There are a lot of mining nodes competing for that reward, and it is a question of luck and computing power (the more guessing calculations you can perform, the luckier you are).

Also, the costs of being a mining node are considerable, not only because of the powerful hardware needed (if you have a faster processor than your competitors, you have a better chance of finding the correct number before they do), but also because of the large amounts of electricity that running these processors consumes.

And, the number of bitcoins awarded as a reward for solving the puzzle will decrease. It's 12.5 now, but it halves every four years or so (the next one is expected in 2020-21). The value of bitcoin relative to cost of electricity and hardware could go up over the next few years to partially compensate this reduction, but it's not certain.

The difficulty of the calculation (the required number of zeroes at the beginning of the hash string) is adjusted frequently, so that it takes on average about 10 minutes to process a block.

Why 10 minutes? That is the amount of time that the bitcoin developers think is necessary for a steady and diminishing flow of new coins until the maximum number of 21 million is reached (expected some time in 2140).

If you've made it this far, then congratulations! There is still so much more to explain about the system, but at least now you have an idea of the broad outline of the genius of the programming and the concept. For the first time we have a system that allows for convenient digital transfers in a decentralized, trust-free and tamper-proof way. The repercussions could be huge.

Explaining Hash Rate Or Hash Power In Cryptocurrencies

If you are new to the world of cryptocurrencies, I guess you would have heard this number of times that Bitcoin’s hash rate, also referred to as hash power, has increased or come down. Does the term make you wonder what it actually means?

I actually used to wonder in my initial days as to what Bitcoin’s hash rate/power actually means. And eventually, after learning a lot of stuff about Bitcoin, I was able to understand the reference.

Hash rate or hash power is something very critical and integral to Bitcoin’s network for a number reasons, that I will explain further in this article.

But before that, it is very important that one understands what this actually means because by doing so one will be able to naturally understand why this hash rate/power matters so much.

Note: Hash rate/ hash power is used in every cryptocurrency that is proof of work but for this example, I am using Bitcoin because most of us naturally connect to this cryptocurrency.

What Is Hash Rate Or Hash Power?

Hash Rate, also Hash Power, is the measuring unit that measures how much power Bitcoin network is consuming to be continuously functional. By continuously functional I mean how much hash power is it consuming to generate/find blocks at the normal mean time of 10 minutes.

If you remember, in my previous article What is a Bitcoin hash I explained thoroughly that Bitcoin network consumes a lot of energy because it has to solve mathematical intensive computations regularly to find the blocks.

These computations for finding the blocks are basically mathematical puzzles that a miner cannot just guess without a lot of computation.

To successfully mine a block, a miner needs to hash the block’s header in such a way that it is less than or equal to the “target.”

The target, at the time of writing this article, is that the SHA-256 hash of a block’s header must be a 256-bit alphanumeric string, and must start with 18 zeros. The target changes as the difficulty change every 2016 blocks.

And the miners arrive at this particular hash (or target) by varying a small portion of the block’s headers, which is called a “nonce.” A nonce always starts with “0” and is incremented every time for obtaining the required hash (or target).

Since the varying of the nonce is hit and miss, the chances of getting this particular hash (or target), which starts with these many zeros, is very low. Therefore, many attempts must be made by a miner by varying the nonce.

And this number of attempts made per second is called hash rate or hash power. And this hash power or guessing attempts are made by miners who mine the Bitcoin blocks by a process called Bitcoin mining.

To understand more about hash power see this short video on hash power or hash rate which perfectly explains it.

How Is The Hash Rate Measured & its Unit?

Hash rate, as I said, is a unit measured in hashes per second or [h/s] and here are some usual denominations used to refer it.

Hash rate denominations

• 1 kH/s is 1,000 (one thousand) hashes per second
• 1 MH/s is 1,000,000 (one million) hashes per second.
• 1 GH/s is 1,000,000,000 (one billion) hashes per second.
• 1 TH/s is 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) hashes per second.
• 1 PH/s is 1,000,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion) hashes per second.
• 1 EH/s is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (one quintillion) hashes per second.

Comman Hash rate Conversions

• 1 MH/s = 1,000 kH/s
• 1 GH/s = 1,000 MH/s = 1,000,000 kH/s
• 1 TH/s = 1,000 GH/s = 1,000,000 MH/s = 1,000,000,000 kH/s
• and so forth

Bitcoin Network’s Hash Rate & Distribution As Of Now?

This is the Bitcoin’s hash rate distribution.

Bitcoin network’s hash rate now is 9.9 TH/s and is only growing as the more miners are joining in so more difficulty is going up.

Hash Rate, Miner’s Reward And Difficulty

Hash rate, miner’s reward, and difficulty are interdependent on each other in various ways. Whenever Bitcoin network’s difficulty goes up more hash rate is required to mine/find the blocks and as result miners earn the block reward of 12.5 BTC plus the transaction fees.

Interestingly, the Bitcoin network’s difficulty goes up because of more miners joining the network and thus the hash power needs to be increased (i.e. more computational guesses needs to be made per second to find the solution).

This interesting correlation is enforced in the Bitcoin protocol itself so that the average block time remains 10 minutes.

After reading this, some of you would want to mine bitcoins by providing hash power to the Bitcoin network but that is a very costly and energy-intensive affair which everyone cannot do. It requires you to make expensive hardware investments, pay for huge electricity bills, and demands that you have a good amount of computer knowledge.

And until you are ready to become a miner, keep working hard in your current profession, HODL Bitcoin and stay tuned to CoinSutra to keep learning more about the Bitcoin revolution.

In the search for Anaïs Nin, one of the first few links shows a picture of a man. Why? Since Nin is a woman, I can’t figure out why. Can you show some reason for this? Who is he? If you click on the picture a group of pictures of Nin and no mention of that man. Is it an error?

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for
www.att.com.

WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE

I tried to search for things like www.homedepot.com. The same thing happened. It would say WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE. The only thing that changed were all the upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
Then it would again say
could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

This is the same thing that happened when Samsung and At&t tried to do any kind of searches thru the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo needs to fix the problem with their app.
