Can someone crunch some numbers about how long it may be until it finds a correct hash? Is the heat death of the universe first?

Can someone crunch some numbers about how long it may be until it finds a correct hash? Is the heat death of the universe first?
- onions 7y agoAt current difficulty, 2 hashes/second gives about 614 trillion years to find one block. Not quite the heat death of the universe, but wikipedia says all stars in the universe will have exhausted their fuel.
- kpU8efre7r 7y agoAt my current electric rate that would cost me $912,997,246,800,000 in electricity to find a hash.

- quickthrower2 7y agoA bitcoin would easily be worth that by then
- option8 7y agohuh. I have 1.61 hashes/second, and I only came to 535 trillion years. Maybe the difficulty changed since I did my math.
