I've implemented Nathan Vegdahl's TentHash algorithm in Go
https://gitlab.com/dr.sybren/tenthash
TentHash is a high-quality, reasonably fast, large-output hash. Its target applications are data fingerprinting, checksums, content-addressable systems, and other use cases that don't tolerate hash collisions.
I've just learned of the term "Gematria" (I knew of the technique, I just didn't know it had a specialized name) and numerology aside, I wondered, "Could this be considered the first #Hashing algorithm?"
2/2
One question, that we've not seen answered, is what #HashingAlgorithm does is use? Is it the same as bitcoin facilitating #AtomicSwaps or is it different?
Indeed articles we've seen don't even touch on basics such as whether its #ProofOfWork, #ProofOfStake or #ProofOfBrainActivity. Its a huge oversight and maybe a deliberate attempt by #corporateSponsored #searchEngines to maintain a level of ignorance.
By dumbing down the details, they can avoid proper scruitiny.
