Is prime factorisation used in SHA256 ?
Would I be able to solo mine from my CPU again ?
- runeks 6y agoNo. Prime factorization is used for public key cryptography, not hashing.
- unnouinceput 6y agoNo, to both questions. Implementing SHA256 is actually quite easy, no more than 50 lines of code. My current implementation that I use for my personal use is under 100 lines of code including variable declarations (not just executable lines of code). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
