Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 266 blocks solved!
It's kind of fun monitoring the Bitcoin network and seeing what hash got the blocks...makes me wonder, what's the BIGGEST or HIGHEST difficulty ever hashed by a miner? Is there any way to figure that out?
For example:
Block 751848 hash "00000000000000000002f03ad7a1dd69628c4747ea8751dc9a5497fd451a3667"
Block 751849 hash "00000000000000000000bdaaf8190000aac4323bd941d1095deffc36295f6512" (clearly much higher difficulty)
Also, how does one calculate the difficulty level of any particular submitted hash? i.e. What's the calculation relating the number of leading zeroes of a hash and the difficulty level of the hash?
(I've tried reading up on it and just haven't found a clear answer)
Thanks in advance and so sorry if it's a simple answer!

I think this will answer your question perfectly...

YES YES YES YES YES!!! That's exactly what I was aiming at. I like hashes to be like muscle cars, not cruisers...why should one score a block with anything close to diff? Why not have a magic miner that smashes the block at 99.9999% more diff than is required (like in 2015)?
Anyway, thanks for the lead!
