For the first time in history, the Bitcoin network has surpassed a hash rate of 1 Zeta hash (ZH/s), making it one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world.
On the 7th (local time), Cointelegraph cited data from multiple blockchain data providers and reported that Bitcoin's hash rate reached 1.02 on April 5th.
It was reported that the cryptocurrency recorded 5ZH/s and exceeded the Zeta hash level for the first time in history.
According to Frame, they surpassed 1ZH/s on April 5 and April 4, respectively, with Coinwarz hitting the block on April 4.
The company announced that it had recorded 1.1 ZH/s at a peak of 890,915. According to data from Coinwarz, the first time it surpassed 1 ZH/s was on March 24th.
One Zeta hash is the computing power equivalent to 1,000 Exahashes (EH/s), which was first released by Bitcoin in January 2016.
This is a roughly 1000-fold increase since the last EH/s record. The difference in numbers is due to differences in how the hash rate is calculated. For example, block generation time, difficulty, etc.
The calculation results vary depending on the timing of the adjustment and which miner pool and node data is used.
Lopp said, "Estimating hashrate based on only one recent block versus using five blocks can result in a difference of more than 0.04 ZH/s."
"The hackers are trying to circumvent the hackers' threats," said Mitchell Askew, chief analyst at Blockware Solutions.
Askew said, "Due to short-term variability in block generation times, instantaneous hash rate figures should not be overestimated," and noted that the current 30-day moving average hash rate of Bitcoin is
He explained that the rate is still at the 0.845ZH/s level.
