Proper neoscrypt hashing in Python
domob1812 opened this issue · comments
Currently, the code to compute Neoscrypt PoW hashes is based on the xaya-hash binary (as we do it in Xaya Core regtests). This works for early tests, but is both not very portable nor efficient. Thus, we should replace it by a proper Neoscrypt module in Python.
There seems to be a module available (https://github.com/ahmedbodi/neoscrypt_python), but that is very outdated. And even when adapted to Python3, it still didn't work for me so far.
This has been resolved with https://github.com/xaya/neoscrypt_python.
