    FAQ

    Questions, answered

    Can't find yours? Ask us directly.

    01Is the hashing real?

    Yes. Every attempt is a real SHA-256 hash computed by your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

    02Why does each extra zero take so long?

    Each extra leading hex zero makes a valid hash about 16 times rarer, so you need about 16 times more attempts.

    03Why does editing an old block break the chain?

    Its hash changes, so the next block no longer points to it and its proof of work is no longer valid. Rewriting history means re-mining everything after it.

    04Does this mine real crypto?

    No. It is an educational game: the blocks live only in your browser tab.
