Your stubborance or pedantry is not my concern. You have nothing to grant me. I require no grant of you. You offer me nothing, for you display nothing I lack. You already provide me with what I crave: my own self amusement; so thank you.

You can read the paper and understand the principles it is based on, which is rooted on balancing computational asymmetry amongst other concerns across a network of computers. On the most simple level, if you are aware of hashcash and sybil resistance you should be able to figure it out.

If you're still confused: then answer yourself the question why does the bitcoin algorithm adjust to computational power?



You're the stubborn one who refuses to be clear about what you're saying.

Just fucking say it, what's with the running around?

Are you unable to explain it?


I already did, if you can’t understand, then you lack a much more fundamental understanding. I recommend learning about how a computer work.


You are unable to explain it, showing a clear sign of lack of understanding.

But maybe you have links to others who are able to explain it, not the Bitcoin paper which obviously does not lead one to think network security will subsume all available matter for compute.
