- sanj 5y agoMaybe I'm missing something but this doesn't appear have anything to do with PoW beyond adding salt to a hash.
- codeflo 5y agoA surprising number of people seem to believe that Bitcoin pioneered all forms of cryptography.
- drawkbox 5y agoYeah when you say "crypto" now, people aren't thinking encryption/decryption/private/public/keys/certs/algos, they are appending "currency" in their brains.
