This simulator could be misleading to users who may not understand that it's purely a simulation and not actual Bitcoin mining. The code generates fake hashes and simulated rewards but doesn't actually mine Bitcoin or interact with the Bitcoin network. Consider adding prominent disclaimers in the output and documentation that this is a simulation for educational/demonstration purposes only and generates no real Bitcoin.

Suggested change
DISCLAIMER:
- This is a pure software simulation for educational/demonstration purposes only.
- It DOES NOT perform real Bitcoin mining or interact with the Bitcoin network.
- It DOES NOT connect to any real mining pools or real wallets.
- It DOES NOT generate, transfer, or manage any real Bitcoin or other currency.

The wallet address "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa" is the genesis block address famously associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. Using this address in configuration could be misleading as it suggests deposits would actually go there. Consider using clearly marked test/example addresses or removing real addresses entirely from a simulator.

The comment states "Current halving cycle" but the block reward of 6.25 BTC will change at the next halving (expected around 2024). Since this is a simulator, consider adding a comment indicating this is accurate as of a specific date or block height, or making it configurable for future halvings.

Suggested change
# Block reward (6.25 BTC as of current halving cycle)
# Block reward (6.25 BTC as of this simulated halving cycle, approx. block height 870000 / Dec 4 2025; update for future halvings or make dynamic)

The docstring says "Generate realistic SHA-256 hash" but this generates random hashes that don't meet Bitcoin's actual difficulty requirements (leading zeros). Consider updating the documentation to clarify this generates simulated hashes for demonstration purposes, not actual valid Bitcoin block hashes.

The comment says "Random block discovery (1 in 20 chance)" but the actual probability check is 0.05 (5%, or 1 in 20). While technically correct, the comment would be clearer if it said "5% chance" to match the code's decimal representation.

The variable name 'cycle_number' in the infinite simulation function (line 152) duplicates tracking that's already done by 'self.cycle_count' in the InfiniteMiner class. The local variable 'cycle_number' is redundant and could be removed in favor of using 'miner.cycle_count' or 'result['cycle']' directly.

Using modulo checks on 'cycle_number' (lines 161, 185, 199) for different display frequencies creates tight coupling and makes the display logic harder to maintain. Consider extracting these magic numbers (5, 10, 20) into named constants like 'DISPLAY_FREQUENCY', 'STATS_FREQUENCY', and 'PROJECTION_FREQUENCY' at the top of the file for better maintainability.

Division by zero protection using 'max(1, stats['cycles'])' appears on lines 217, 218, 320, and 321. However, this is inconsistent with other parts of the code that use 'max(1, self.total_shares)' (line 119) and 'max(1, runtime)' (lines 122-123). Since 'cycles' should never be 0 when these functions are called (they're only called after mining has started), consider adding assertions or documentation explaining when this protection is necessary.

Suggested change
btc_per_cycle = stats['btc'] / max(1, stats['cycles'])
blocks_per_cycle = stats['blocks'] / max(1, stats['cycles'])

The projection calculations for time-based periods assume fixed rates. For "1 Hour (7,200 cycles)" assumes 2 cycles per second (7200/3600), "1 Day (172,800 cycles)" assumes the same rate. However, these hardcoded values don't account for the actual cycles_per_sec from the statistics. The projections would be more accurate if they used the actual measured rate from stats['cycles_per_sec'] rather than assuming a fixed 2 cycles/second rate.
