In this video I mine bitcoin manually by hand with a pencil and paper - no joke. We run the SHA256 hashing algorithm from start to finish then compare our final hash to the block hash target value.

SHA-256 is one of the first and most prominently used hashing algorithms in blockchains like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV. SHA-256 is used in various stages in a blockchain, most prominently:

Consensus mechanism: Miners calculate the hash of new blocks to be created using SHA-256 by varying the value of nonce in a bitcoin block until they reach the hash below the threshold. Then that block can be accepted into the ledger.
Chains of blocks: Each block in the ledger contains a hash generated by SHA-256 referring to the preceding block in the chain.
Digital signatures: Transactions use digital signatures to maintain integrity, the information used in the transaction is hashed using SHA-256, and then it is encrypted with the sender's private key to generate a signature. The miner then verifies this signature to validate the transaction.

The difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to mine a Bitcoin block, or in more technical terms, to find a hash below a given target. A high difficulty means that it will take more computing power to mine the same number of blocks, making the network more secure against attacks. The difficulty adjustment is directly related to the total estimated mining power estimated in the {hashrate} chart.
