Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Happy Pi Day guys... today is a Pi π day - 3.14
Just read as of today we have calculated 31.4 trillion decimal places—31,415,926,535,897 of Pi to be exact. It was done by a Google employee (Emma Haruka) who set a world record for calculating the most digits of Pi. She and her team used 96 vCPUs with 1.4TB of RAM and spent 121.1 days.
So here’s thought what if all the Bitcoin mining rigs starts calculating the value of Pi just for 10 minutes? How much can we calculate? Keeping in mind (in early 2020) the computers on the bitcoin network were calculating close to 120 exahashes per second.
And for a reference “One terahash is a trillion hashes per second, one petahash is a quadrillion hashes per second, and one exahash is one quintillion hashes per second (a one followed by 18 zeros).”

I am not sure whether I understand the answer in regards to the bitcoin network's calulations and pi.. in other words, how many decimal places of pi could the bitcoin network calculate in 10 minutes versus the 121.1 days that were used by the team of 96vCPUs of Emma Haruka? Did I miss the answer? Is there an answer? Her team got 31.4 trillion decimal places, and another variation of the question would be how long would it take the bitcoin network to arrive at that number of decimal places of pi?
