I believe author does not really understand what does mining do. There is no way to use it for brute force attacks on encrypted transmissions.

- cosarara97 13y agoWell there is a way if you know both the plaintext and the encripted form of a message. But anyway, I'd like to see some kind of proof that bitcoin transactions can be used for that.
- bobx11 13y agoIt is brute force, just not for a cracking context like you would normally hear that word.
- boldrikboldrik 13y agoYes, but what you are brute-forcing is set: block and random number to get hash that start with defined number of zeroes. That's it. No other use. No brute-force of communication. It does not even help to brute-force passwords.
