Also, as of March 2019, the [[Bitcoin network|Bitcoin Network]] had a measured computing power equivalent to over 80,000 [[FLOPS|exaFLOPS]] (Floating-point Operations Per Second).<ref name="Bitcoin Network Statistics">{{cite web|url=http://bitcoinwatch.com/bitcoin/|title=Bitcoin Network Statistics|author=bitcoinwatch.com|work=Bitcoin|access-date=March 12, 2019|archive-date=January 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230120182533/https://bitcoincharts.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> This measurement reflects the number of FLOPS required to equal the hash output of the Bitcoin network rather than its capacity for general floating-point arithmetic operations, since the elements of the Bitcoin network (Bitcoin mining [[ASIC]]s) perform only the specific cryptographic hash computation required by the [[Bitcoin]] protocol.
