Current Hash Rate: 470 EH/s (Exahash per second) Difficulty: 62.46 T (Terahash)
Based on recent data, the estimated cost to rent the necessary hash power for a 51% attack on Bitcoin is as follows:
Hourly Cost for 0.1 EH/s: 0.19652 BTC ($6,847.08 USD)
Hourly Cost for 470 EH/s: Approximately 38.485 BTC ($1,340,886.50 USD)
This estimation assumes the availability of sufficient hash power for rent and represents the cost for an uninterrupted attack lasting one hour. It is a theoretical figure, reflecting the expense of renting hash power at current market rates.
