Saya penasaran apa miner masih nyari block kalau bisa mendapatkan lebih banyak income dari fee?. Karena pernah saya baca miner malah lebih gede dari fee (6,5 btc dibanding block (6,25). Jadi keberkahan ini mungkin hanya dinikmati segelintir orang saja dibanding mereka yang secara real bertransaksi. Jadi artinya apa ya kurang 10 menit itu?, apa miner sudah berfokus nyari block?

Sepemahaman saya agar miner mendapatkan fee dari transaksi, ya memang mesti mendapat block baru yang mana transaksi tersebut berada; Dengan kata lain fee yang didapat itu sebagai bonus tambahan (besar kecilnya tergantung dari tx yang ada di setiap block barunya tersebut) karena penghasilan pokoknya saat ini ya dari Block reward. Setelah Bitcoin habis di mining semua, barulah fee transaksi yang jadi income utama.

Perihal jarak antar block saat ini kurang dari 10 menit, saya kira bukan semata karena miner fokus mencari block, tapi karena faktor lain semisal hash rate; Untuk itulah diberlakukan mining difficulty* untuk menyeimbangkan agar rata-rata antar block tidak terlalu cepat atau terlalu lama.

The formula is based on the time it takes to generate 2016 blocks. The difficulty is multiplied by 14/(actual days taken). For instance, this time it took 9.4 days, so the calculation was 14/9.4 = 1.49. Previous difficulty 2.53 * 1.49 = 3.78, a 49% increase.

Satoshi, I figured it will take my modern core 2 duo about 20 hours of nonstop work to create ฿50.00! With older PCs it will take forever. People like to feel that they "own" something as soon as possible, is there a way to make the generation more divisible? So say, instead of making ฿50 every 20 hours, make ฿5 every 2 hours?

I thought about that but there wasn't a practical way to do smaller increments. The frequency of block generation is balanced between confirming transactions as fast as possible and the latency of the network.

The algorithm aims for an average of 6 blocks per hour. If it was 5 bc and 60 per hour, there would be 10 times as many blocks and the initial block download would take 10 times as long. It wouldn't work anyway because that would be only 1 minute average between blocks, too close to the broadcast latency when the network gets larger.
