Secure Hash Algorithm named SHA - 256.
-
By using SHA-256, our output is always a fixed 256-bits length.
It is also very difficult to find 2 inputs to produce the same output in a hash function.

Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-256. -
Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
Because computing power needed to solve the algorithm is just too high. Good hash rate for mining bitcoin is 14 Th/s meaning around 14 trillion calculations per second. There are so many possibilities, each 256bit hash needs to be unique. The algorithm is one directional meaning it cannot be reversed.

Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
Because of the 2^256 possible outcomes, this particular algorithm will take such a long time to find out the input values of a hash generated with this algorithm that it is infeasible to do so. Bitcoin hash can only be solved in a linear, unidirectional manner.

- The hashing algorithm for Bitcoin SHA-256, Secure Hash Algorithm.
- It is hard because the algorithm not only requires a high amount of computational power, it requires a rate of 14TH/S and works on a lottery. Bitcoin requires large servers and hardware to be mined and you cannot use a home computer.

- A Bitcoin hash is only solved in a linear, unidirectional manner and does not allow the reversal of a hash. This makes it nearly impossible to find the input based on the output. “blender theory”

The hashing algorithm used in Bitcoin validation is the SHA-256 algorithm, a structure which processes with 2 to the 256th power of bits of computational space.
- Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
This hashing algorithm is difficult to obtain solutions by the “brute-force” method because of two main reasons.
.
First, the numbers that are processed (in both input and output form) are so large as to expand the field of total possible solutions to an impractical size, thus creating a “needle-in-the-haystack” situation where the seeker could never examine all the “straws of hay” to find the “needle.”
.
Second, the method of distributing the keys to access a bitcoin is broadcast over the entire space of the SHA-256, being those “straws in the haystack” using a protocol of cryptography known as the elliptic curve method.
.
The elliptic curve function was created to approach the methodology of random broadcasting the cryptocurrency data coming from the keys/addresses. This was done by hiding the instances of data being used along the perimeter of an abstract map of an ellipse.
.
Thus, the data was hidden by a method which does not leave any tracks of its path from the first of the miner’s input to the final output.

The hashing algorithm can only be solved in a linear, unidirectional manner through intricate mathematical equations. The network requires a 10 minute interval between the creation of new blocks.

- The hashing algorithm in Bitcoin is called SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm).
- It is difficult to brute-force as technically the process of solving the algorithm is done entirely by random. Practically, its because there is a specific hash rate for each block to be mined to maintain the specific and predictable supply of Bitcoin that can be created.

To brute force the unhashed input data would require either a unrealistic length of time to compute or a level of computational power not yet available.
