Jul 11, 2021 at 23:06 comment added jjj Actually the leading zeros are more of a side-effect. Mostly it's just that the hash value must be less than a specific value (like $2^{256}/difficulty$). Of course that results in the first digits beeing zero. (but allows for smoother steps)

Delete a tag that seems unrelevent to me and add a new one.

Jul 5, 2021 at 13:49 comment added David Jonsson I wan't to know more about how secure it is. The more fixed values the less variation and less security in the algorithm.
