I'm an amateur generative artist who just started minting on hic et nunc a month ago. I'm extremely sceptical and even disgusted by the big money NFTs, but minting and collecting on H=N has been a lot of fun, there is a very nice

Yes. It basically turns a reverse engineering task back into regular "forward" engineering, except you are programming with z3's symbolic variables. Here is an example: https://anee.me/solving-a-simple-crackme

You can solve many keygen type reverse engineering challenges with z3.
