The complex math equation miners do:

Is this the right number?
Is this the right number?
Is this the right number?
Is this the right number?
Is this the right number?
Is this the right number?


Aka

A lottery 👀💯

Even Forrest can do it

THANK YOU


Isn't is both a guess and check, though?

Guess the nonce, run it all through SHA-256 complex math algo to get a hash, and see if that hash meets the criteria to be considered valid.

No? Then replace the nonce with a new guess and run the math again to get a new hash.

So it is both guessing AND doing complex math to check.

And by complex math, I only mean that you can't simply look at the mathematical functions and the output (the hash) you would need from them and work backwards to figure out what the input (the nonce) needs to be.


Yes you are technically correct but it's less funny that way

Oh, good. Thought I was going to hear it worked differently than I understood, because I saw both you and Lopp post something similar and I know you both understand these things way better than me.

YES

🤣 Yes. It's not really solving complex math equations like it's often portrayed. It's just a guessing game.

haha that's great!


So lottery players are sort of like ASIC miners.


We're basically throwing 64 x 256-sided dice and hoping for a low roll. If the first eight are all zeros and the next is less than 64, you've got it!

Reminds me of the old Weird Al movie UHF, the scene where the blind guy is doing a card trick and keeps saying "is this it?" over and over again.


The entire civilization secured by a child in the backseat asking “Are we there yet?” on a loop until eternity, only sped up so eternity transpires every 10 minutes.


Funny as fuck.


Right on!
