+Let's review the calculation given in the [Bitcoin Wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty) to compute the hashrate:
 
 ```
 hashrate = difficulty * 2**32 / 600 (60 * 10 = 10 minutes)
 hashrate = ~157 (GH/s) = (22012.4941572 * 2**32 / 600) / 10**9 (example)
-hashrate = ~595 (EH/s) (83148355189239.77 * 2**32 / 600) / 10**18 (current)
+hashrate = ~743 (EH/s) = (103919634711492.2 * 2**32 / 600) / 10**18 (time of writing, Dec 2024)
 ```
 
-The `LightRelay` requires that the proof is included at the *current* or *previous* difficulty so we can assume the attacker has 2016 * 2 blocks to brute-force a valid chain of `proofLength`.
-This is possible since due to SPV assumptions we can not verify the transactions references by the block header are valid, only that sufficient PoW has accumulated on the chain.

 hashrate * 6/(2016*2)
-595 * 6/(2016*2) = 0.885 EH/s (~885712 TH/s)
+743 (EH/s) * 6/(2016*2) = 1.105 EH/s (~1,105,654 TH/s)
 ```
 
-So we need ~0.148% of the current hashrate to build six blocks in two weeks.

-If we estimate it would cost $11 per TH/s (excluding electricity and other setup costs) then the total cost of that hashrate would be $9,742,832.

 This excludes the opportunity cost from actually mining on Bitcoin mainnet, receiving fees and block rewards.
 
-Therefore, provided the value protected by the relay is less than $10m protocols secured by the relay are "economically safe".
