A quick overview of the technical principles: Hash functions
· Common Bitcoin P2PKH and P2WPKH addresses are generated by first applying SHA-256 to the public key, then RIPEMD-160, producing a 160-bit public key hash.
· Hash functions transform data of any length into a fixed-length output. This output string is called a hash value, also known as a digest.
$BTC mining essentially involves repeatedly calculating SHA-256 hashes to find a result that meets the difficulty requirements. Current price: 80316.18.
