Perché bitcoin usa un algoritmo di hashing lento?

What is Bitcoin block hash?

A block header is used to identify a particular block on an entire blockchain and is hashed repeatedly to create proof of work for mining rewards. A blockchain consists of a series of various blocks that are used to store information related to transactions that occur on a blockchain network.

How long is a blockchain hash?

In the Bitcoin blockchain hashes are 256 bits, or 64 characters. It may seem impossible that a near infinite amount of data can be translated consistently into a unique string of only 64 characters, but this is miraculously how cryptographic functions work.
