The process of bitcoin mining uses a cryptographic hash algorithm called “Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256).” It transforms any line of text or prose into a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value. In simple terms, it breaks apart words and sentences and turns them into fixed-length, indecipherable, alphanumeric strings.1 Şub 2022

“The Bitcoin network today has a hash rate of approximately 190 EH/s , so all the miners across the network are calculating the output of the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function approximately 190 quintillion times per second on average.”

Each Bitcoin block takes 10 minutes to mine. This means that in theory, it will take just 10 minutes to mine 1 BTC (as part of the 6.25 BTC reward).
