    Missing the most important question: what proof-of-work algorithm does LBRY use?
    • tromp 10y ago
      Searching around for a while, I came across https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd-gpu/blob/master/algorithm/lbry.c https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd-gpu/blob/master/algorithm/... which shows it to be Hashcash with some mishmash of existing hash functions (SHA256,SHA512,RIPEMD) cobbled together.

        Would be nice if the site featured a diagram showing how the functions and inputs are composed into the output hash. If this is an original function, what is it about LBRY that necessitates this new function?
