Hashrate (Eh/s) x Machine efficiency (J/Eh) = J/s = W.
What's more ? (I agree this data does not appear on chain but I don't see otherwise what you are trying to do)
Discussion
That’s the energy consumption of the mining rigs. How would you calculate the real efficiency of the entire network of miners?
I’m specifically talking about the physical energy transformation process when computational energy is crystalized into immutable information.
This would depending on how “hot” the block is (temperature), difficulty of the block and the entropy of the hash function. I’m not sure if time plays a role in this; if we would scale up or down depending on if block time >,<,= 600 seconds.
OK that is really interesting (and beautiful). We can transpose this to a physicial anisotropic material (i love the idea of clay as it consolidates over time over a said charge). Here are some ideas that came to me.
So for the units :
- meter -> block (or time)
- kg -> MB (information) - also inverse of S entropy (is it the same entropy?)
- density goes like -> MB/block then

Thermal conductivity becomes Information conductivity (k), units are W/(block.MB) the capacity to transfer information in a milieu (through the z axis = time axis -> so meter might be time, idk ?
Heat capacity becomes Information capacity, units are W/MB the energy required to crystalize (or release?) 1MB of information ?

Anyway food for thoughts.
I think bitcoin poses threat to the idea of “spacetime” and introduces the reciprocal of “timespace” as being fundamental reality (crystalized past). We live in the eternal present (always waiting for the next block; probability). Blocks only reference past states, never the present state.
The temperature component of a block poses a new definition of temperature and would completely redefine classical physics and all of our assumptions. This is what has held me back; focus on Bitcoin or fix classical physics. Bitcoin is the missing language to quantum mechanics. THE quantum computer (we’ll save that for later discussion).
But yes indeed distance becomes blocks or the number of blocks between events.
Mass is memory (mb)
Density is currently defined as memory x difficulty.
I’ve also introduced the speed of memory has the actual block size/1 block. It’s funny because the max speed of memory (in a vacuum) is 4MB/block; but also 4MB/600 seconds is the idealized maximum speed of memory. It can go faster or slower depending on block time in seconds.
Bitcoin reveals temperature is general relativity. The literal definition of both 0 & 1 and the space between. We have classical temperature all wrong. Bitcoin is a model of a universe. The UTXO model of reality.
Given the realm of entropy; how would you relate Boltzmanns constant (joules per kelvin) to Satoshis? I have the answer, curious what you think.
Thanks for your input, those are very interesting ideas and you made a lot of connections that I didn't consider before.
To be honest it feels like we are seeing what we want in bitcoin, but it does respond to us with answers.
The idea of "crystalized past" (not subject to entropy - as long as hardware exists-), is indeed an disturbing idea that force us to adapt our views. Maybe a kind of paradigm shift as you seem to believe. Why not, I do see your point about "present multiples states" and "probabilities" and the link with quantum science. Though I am not a specialist at all, once again the links are beautiful.
Not so convinced about the difficulty as being a part of the "density" as in the analogy with the "ρCp" term. I would say that it is more linked to the radial energy. The more the difficulty, the more the density then. So density of microstates ? I dont know I'm lost.
At first I didn't quite understand what you meant with your "temperature of a block" idea. It still lacks of tangibility to me (if you have maybe an analogy or example of some sort that can be interesting). But i get that there is a relation between temp and distribution of energy and it is linked with the Boltzmann constant. But how does it relate to bitcoin ?
Maybe the answers lies in your question. My response would be.. that if the kb is the amout of energy to maintain a temperature of 1K, satoshis are a glue that maintain some energy.. i'm probably missing the big pictures and my head is exploding 😄
Thank you for listening; it feels like there’s not many people to talk to about this. Everyone’s mind is closed that Bitcoin is just money. Try the world’s largest ongoing decentralized physics experiment. Try a complete restructuring of reality.
When blocks hit a cap on block size (4MB but ~2.5ish MB), a block mined at a difficulty of 50T is way more energy dense than a block mined at 100 given an identical size in MB. It’s a unitless proxy.
As far as temperature here is my definition. Relating this to Boltzmanns constant, which has a dimensionality of joules per kelvin; we notice that the temperature in bitcoin has no dimensionality, yet measured in satoshis. Look at Genesis, what do you see?
Are you certain what you see in Space or what we may call memory is not a crystallized past of transactions? How else could we gather anything about the “Big Bang”otherwise? Oh yeah, Bitcoin and temperature breaks the Big Bang theory….
