Mining
The current estimated number of hashes required to mine a block. Note: difficulty is often denoted as the relative difficulty with respect to the genesis block, which required approximately 2^32 hashes. For better comparison across blockchains, our values are denoted in raw hashes.

]The Market Cap to Thermocap Ratio is simply defined as Market cap / Thermocap, and can be used to assess if the asset's price is currently trading at a premium with respect to total security spend by miners. The ratio is adjusted to account for the increasing circulating supply over time.

]Aggregate security spend, or "Thermocap", is the aggregated amount of coins paid to miners and serves as a proxy to mining resources spent. It serves as a measure of the true capital flow into the network and is computed as the aggregate coinbase transactions multiplied by the price in USD at the time they were mined. This metric was first put forth by Nic Carter.
