I will not consider myself knowledgeable in crypto until I have watched every single video of this channel.

You are Heaven sent. Your animations make concetracting so much easier. Thank you 😊

[hmczgtn]

to use animation in explaining is alot of work, and you are given us all this information and knowlede for free thankyou men

I have watched a lot of videos attempting to explain how the hashing relates to mining, and this is the best one I’ve found 👏🏼

[nurdayana]

Such an amazing video, thank you so much. It was so easy to understand

[angelique]

This was actually crystal clear! Thanks!

It doesn't need to be quick to compute. Plenty of hashing functions are slow on purpose, such as those used to protect passwords, like bcrypt. The speed is pretty incidental to btc (within reason, of course).

Great content. Can you please input the links used in the video in the description of the video? This will be easier to navigate.

[monikarosa]

Thank you. I’m going thru all your videos and very much enjoy learning ❤

[dozieibeh]

This is my first time understanding proof of work

[julesfalcone]

I was on your website. This video was mentioned but I couldn't find it, so I had to leave your website and come to YouTube.

[akhilbrahmadandi]

Amazing video as well as explanation bro!!🤩

[jonathanlivingston]

Wow you guys are really the best explainers

Hashing using sha256 gives out just the finger print of the data, but cannot be converted back to data as Hashing is not reversible. So the 256bits does carrry signature to verify the contents of 2 datasets if they are similar.

Intro was dope. Ready for complicated crypto world . No!! Neither are we 😀😄👍

[InRussianFromAfar]

Sorry, but I don't understand why the computers need to find the output with certain amount of zeros? Can anybody help me with that?

[anilb.bhudia]

Hey Whiteboard Crypto this is great information, are you available to create content if need be for another project i have come across?

[bibbidi_bobbidi_boob]

I want to know exactly how it computes. How long would it take currently technology to crack 256?

[franciscoGarcia-kxgl]

you are amazing guys. thanks for your info
