      i think you read a word that isn’t there. the work of generating a nonce, hashing the header, and checking for leading zeroes can certainly be done by a raspberry pi in under the 10 minute block time.

        A raspberry pi could verify a bitcoin block. It is EXTREMELY unlikely to find the next block.

            A hash rate that requires 170TWh of electricity. There are no scenarios where this drops more than 99%, except for the destruction of bitcoin.
