Only 2^200 times less efficiently (even that's generous).
- FabHK 4y agoI'd say between 1e7 and 1e11. 1e5 is too generous, 1e60 is way too harsh.
- yarg 4y agoWhen a fundamental part of token generation is brute-forcing secure hashes?
- FabHK 4y agoYes, but you still need, say, one computer to run what Bitcoin does (without the PoW hashing - just checking and recording 5 transactions per second). BTC uses around 15 GW currently, a computer say 15 to 150 W, so we are talking a factor of 1e9 (Giga) to 1e10.
