You're very welcome!
Yes, but my opinion is even more radical. I think showing "difficulty" (whether it's number of leading zero bits, number of leading '0's in hex, or number of leading 'q's in bech32) is not ideal since something with 10 zeroes looks half as hard to generate something with 20 zeroes (or '0's or 'q's) when, in fact, it is 1,000 times easier to generate 10 zeroes.
On https://powrelay.xyz/explore I show the number of hashes needed (on average) to generate an event with that many zeroes. An event with 10 leading zeroes needs 2**10 = 1_024 hashes and one with 20 leading zeroes needs 2**20 = 1_048_576 hashes (on average).
I actually find out about note id pow-ing on your website :)
...but isn't the number of hashes per byte dependent on the specific hardware being used and its processing power?
The number of hashes per byte might not be the same on raspberry pi and on a powerful Ryzen computer when doing pow IMO 🤔
Nope, it'll always be same no matter what the hardware is. It's just (2**number_of_leading_zero_bits) / number_of_bytes
Yeah, the Ryzen was designed for PoW/AI from my knoweldge.
Raspberry Pi 4 was designed as a super low power personal computer. Decent at everything. Not a master of anything.
So to say.
