- SHA-256 is the hashing algorithm.
- Because the rewards distributed to the miners are rewarded in a lottery system and not by neccesairily how much work was completed. Also the problems get harder the more miners there are on the network competing for bitcoin in the 10 minute block.

SHA-256
- Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
Because the more nodes attempting to mine Bitcoin, the more difficult it is for mining rigs to solve the algorithms; it essentially becomes a lottery with so much competition.

- SHA-256 (256 bit Secure Hashing Algorithm)
- First, it is almost impossible to reconstruct the initial data from the hash value. A brute - force attack would need to make 2^256 attempts to generate the initial data. Second, having two messages with the same hash value (called a collision) is extremely unlikely.

2. mining is essentially a trial and error process and the chances of success are very low. With all the possibilities, mining requires high amounts of computational capacity as well as dedicated hardware equipment.

Brute force method means picking random inputs and checking them with the output. Suppose you are dealing with 128-bits hash, In the worst scenario, you will get it after 2^128 times which is a very huge number and impractical. Let take the average scenario which you can get in the middle which is after (2^128)/2 = 1.7e38 still a big number. To recap my point it is infeasible to find the input using brute force.

Secure hash algorithm is the hashing algorithm used in Bitcoin.
This hashing algorithm is extremely hard to brute force because you can’t reverse a new hash and the possibility of finding what the input is based on the output would take too much time as there are too many possibilities.

Bitcoin uses a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) named SHA-256
This hashing algorithm is almost impossible to brute-force because SHA-256 is not reversible. It’s almost impossible to take the output and figure out the original input.

- BTC uses the SHA-256 algorithm.
- Because of the number of possibilities combined with the number of nodes and time constraints within block rewards.

The hashing algorithm used in bitcoin is SHA-256
- Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
Because the solution is in 2^256 different possibilities and you will need new overpowered technology for testing all posibilitis in seconds.

- What is the hashing algorithm called used in Bitcoin? SH-256
- Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force? It is almost impossible to brute-force because it has a zero to 256 digit function that produces different output making it almost impossible to duplicate.

Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force? The encryption key or hash is very long. It would take a long time to get back the input from the output produced.
Imagine Turing Stoned. I don’t like the fucker and I want to sling shot the bastard for using his Enigma machine to get German U-boats to attack the American Merchant Navy. The British used the Enigma machine to announce to the Germans when and where they would land their boys. The latter part is true. Look it up.
Sometimes in my sleep I imagine kicking Turing off my boat into a deep blue sea and I got this sling shot like something out of Perseus. It’s really accurate. I want to hit that bastard every time he shows his ugly face and with each clean shot he sinks deeper and deeper. His location cannot be in a region of sea depth 4 times larger than the last. It would be a pretty boring game I tell you unless I had the luck of the gods and was rewarded with more valuable gold. But I’m a game cheat up for that Turing challenge. I have a limitless number of Sharp’s graphical calculators to programme and find that little bastard everytime. But other people wanna play too and we’re all firing our rocks at him. Why should we continue playing? We hit him 21,000,000 times and we all win the game.

Due to bitcoin using the SHA-256 hash function (256 bit output), the number of potential inputs is astronomical so guessing using trial and error is essentially infeasible. The function is also one way, so it is not possible to calculate the input from the output value.

Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force? The hash algorhythm has inticate mathematical equations which work only in one direction and thus prevent the reversal of a new hash to find the original input data.

SHA -256 (secure hash algorithm 256 bit). - Why is this hashing algorithm really hard (almost impossible) to brute-force?
Because of its immutability. With one small change all hash changes. It is one directional and not reversable. So its almost impossible to produces input out of the output
