	The hash/s is also used in calculations of the Bitcoin network's overall hash rate. Because each miner or [[Pooled mining\|mining pool]] only relays a solved block to the network, the overall hash rate of the network is calculated based on the time between blocks. While not an accurate measure of network hash rate at any given instance in time, measurements over longer periods can be considered indicative and similar calculations are used in Bitcoin's [[Difficulty\|difficulty]] adjustment.

	The hash/s unit is also part of a common measure of a Bitcoin miner's electric efficiency in the term [[wikipedia:Watt\|watts]]/Ghash/s, denoted as W/Ghash/s. As 1 watt is equal to 1 joule/s, this measure can also be expressed as J/Ghash, or joules per 1 billion hashes.
