I was going to clarify because I generalized that really poorly, but this site has done it for me. Basically a big difficulty means a low target and we show some parts in hex and some in decimal just to make it spicy and confuse everyone. 😂 This is where the Bitaxe really shines. Plebs asking questions and learning the system.

A simple explanation of what difficulty is in Bitcoin, and how it

I need all the info I can get. Learning everyday!

Yes, the surprising thing to me is that an ASIC can go through all the Nonce possibilities of a block and still don't find an adequate hash under the threshold value. So around 4 billion (10^9) nonce possibilities attempts and a normal bitaxe can do 1,2 Terahashes (10^12) per second. Having to change other parameters within the block itself and trying all the nonces again. That information change my hole perspective on the blockchain construction.
