Finding xem generation hash (1M reward!)

Announcements
#1

Continuing the discussion from Cool NEM Facts FTW:

Actually we can offer reward of 1M XEM (out of my pocket) to the person that’ll find it, but keep in mind this might be a futile task.

    int sha256(unsigned char *out, const unsigned char *in, unsigned long long inlen)
    {
        Keccak_HashInstance _hctx, *hctx = &_hctx;
        Keccak_HashInitialize_SHA3_256(hctx);
        Keccak_HashUpdate(hctx, in, inlen * 8);
        Keccak_HashSqueeze(hctx, out, 256);
        return 0;
    }

Easy way to check is to go here. https://asecuritysite.com/encryption/sha3

And see if the hash matches 16ed3d69d3ca67132aace4405aa122e5e041e58741a4364255b15201f5aaf6e4

Maybe we should mention the people that are excluded from this game ^^

I was going to ask if devs were excluded :wink:

Perhaps a little soon to be requesting hints, but out of curiosity, is the source of 16ed3- also Faust-related, as is c5d54-?

No tips are planned for this challenge.

(I wanted to include link to very old thread, when NXT genesis password was found, but old forum is long dead)

Forgot about that, we’re already past 570k, so closing this.
But if someone finds out there still might be some consolation prize.
