Labs: break things to understand them
Four small experiments. Nothing here is real money, and nothing you do can go wrong.
A hash is a fingerprint for data. The same text always gives the same fingerprint, but change a single letter and nearly every character changes. That’s how blockchains spot tampering.
This is a SHA-256 hash, the kind used to link Bitcoin’s blocks together. Highlighted characters changed since your last keystroke.
Each block below has a fingerprint that depends on its data and on the block before it. A block only counts if its fingerprint starts with zeros, and finding a number (the nonce) that makes that happen is mining. Edit any block’s data and watch the damage spread.
Before you buy anything, decide the most you’re willing to lose. This calculator turns that decision into a position size. It’s a learning tool, not advice.
Why does a wallet use 12 random words instead of a password? Pick a style and a length to see how long an attacker making a trillion guesses per second would need, on average, to crack a randomly generated secret.
This only applies to secrets generated randomly. Passwords people invent themselves are far easier to guess. That’s why wallets generate your seed phrase for you.
