The following exploration delves into two of the mathematical schemes that underpin Bitcoin's complex architecture.
to prevent potential disagreements that could arise if decimal or fractional numbers were used. The use of whole numbers and their negative counterparts ensures that all computational devices can synchronize more effectively and agree on specific network changes.to maintain Bitcoin’s ruleset includes block rewards and halvings that occur at specific block heights divisible by 210,000. Bitcoin’s mining difficulty also utilizes integers to adjust the difficulty every 2,016 blocks.
Furthermore, integer calculations are generally faster and less prone to error than floating-point numbers. If Bitcoin were to use floating-point numbers, it could introduce rounding errors, leading to inconsistencies and disagreements between different nodes on the network. Since Bitcoin uses integers, the block reward from a future halving will eventually be truncated or rounded down to the nearest whole number using bit-shift operators or a bitwise operation. Because the smallest unit of Bitcoin is a satoshi, it makes it impossible to halve. As a result, Bitcoin’s much-discussed capped supply of bitcoin will actually be
