I wrote a nodejs program to test how many hashes my computer can generate per second and it's about 100,000
which means it would take me a full day to generate a single petahash
miners measure their rigs in petahashes per second. My laptop can generate 1 petahash per day. Which means a 1 petahash asic would be 86400 times faster than my laptop.
Also, if you can generate 1 petahash per second that's worth about 2 sats per day
Which means it would take my laptop 86400 days, or 236 years, to generate 2 sats worth of hashes

Do you have this nodejs program shared somewhere? Iβd like to look at it, for academic purposes

Conceivably, you could run multiple instances of this program at the same time to get more output out of your laptop, right? Surely this isn't making the most out of a multi-core processor?
I realize the difference between an ASIC and this is still astronomical, but for the sake of argument.

GPU-optimized algo should be much faster than the CPU one, before ASICs Bitcoin was briefly mined on GPUs

Most definitely. I am mostly just asking to see if every hash of performance was squeezed out of the laptop for the sake of comparison

probably not, I don't know anything about performance optimization

I don't know how to do that though, or how to tell my gpu to run a program instead of my cpu

no way, that can't be happening, what happened to the miners?
