Re: [ANNOUNCE] hash cash postage implementation
Adam,
How does Dr. Bernstein's announcement of finding
a 56 bit collision in md5 using a few hours on a Pentium
affect this scheme? It was not clear from his post whether
he was looking for a collision with a known hash, or just
two different strings with a collision of the given length.

Works fine here. Big endian Mips R10K.
% ./sha1test
test 1
SHA1("abc") =
a9993e364706816aba3e25717850c26c9cd0d89d test ok
test 2
SHA1("abcdbcdecdefdefgefghfghighijhijkijkljklmklmnlmnomnopnopq") =
84983e441c3bd26ebaae4aa1f95129e5e54670f1 test ok
test 3
SHA1("a" x 1,000,000) =
34aa973cd4c4daa4f61eeb2bdbad27316534016f test ok
% ./hashcash -t -22
speed: 70921 hashes per sec
find: 22 bit partial sha1 collision
estimate: 30 seconds
