<p>Your 41.6 GH/s is certainly wrong. According to <a href="https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty" rel="nofollow">https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty</a> it's currently 757,561,871 GH/s = 757,561 TeraHash/s.</p>

<p>As the network gets bigger, the reference hashpower for the whole network grows too. The bitcoin network is now in the petahash range and soon will be exahashes!</p>

<p>So, 1 GHash equals 1000 Mhash's as far as I know. Then, why genesis-mining measures the bitcoin hashpower in terrahashes?? 1 Thash = 1000 Ghash. The whole hashocean is said to have 41.6 GH/s. On genesis you can buy 1 Thash for 400$. Who is naming their units in incorrect way? </p>
