And the target is changed every 2016 blocks so that the difficulty of mining can be changed... ok I get it now, thank you!

Exactly how does a miner... mine?

I know how to use a miner, how to use a pool and stuff like that, and I have done it before (and am right now), but I've always wondered what the actual process was to calculating hashes? What is my miner doing right now?

I've seen this:
Quote from: Pieter Wuille
Code:
doHash(block_header) {
  hasher = new SHA256();
  hasher.update(block_header[0..63]);      // update A1
  hasher.update(block_header[64..127]);  // update A2
  hash1 = hasher.getHash();
  hasher.reset();
  hasher.update(hash1);                         // update B
  hash2 = hasher.getHash();
  return hash2
}

but I have pretty much no clue what it means.

Re: Ghash equals how many megahashes?

I'm pretty sure that by Ghash, people mean Gigahash. 1 Gigahash = 1000 Megahashes, so the first one.
