We've been running equations from the book against Bitcoin block chain.
Here's an older but still working version showing how thermodynamic equations work when applied to satoshis: https://artel21.ver...
in the website it says
"Each block's coinbase selects a subset of this space, creating a measurable quantity of Shannon information: H = −p_block · ln(p_block)"
assuming it's binary why do you ignore (1-p) here (and the rest)?
Shouldn't it be −p_block lnp_block − (1−p_block )ln(1−p_block)
I see a couple more stuff like these
