Computers aren't 'smarter' they're just better at doing a repetitive task

They're still able to do bigger and more accurate calculations, but they're not smarter.

human brain made computers and programmed them to do whatever they can do now , so its obvious who is smarter .

Alright, so by that logic - if a human builds a machine that can lift extremely heavy weights, the human is stronger because he built the machine? loool.

OK, I got it now.

Key element is not knowledge of complicated calculations, but willingness to do an annoying repetitive work.
So my professor case would be just wasting of his skills.

Exactly. Sha256 hashing is not "complicated" but extremely tedious but simple arithmetic.
So, a young kid could do it as good as as a math PhD student or professor.

I'm smarter now Wink

thank you all for contributions, and sorry for such a lame question.

It's a simple repetitive work. no matter who does it professor or usual man that know basics of math

I think it would be determined whichever is the easiest algorithm to solve for.. Cheesy

I saw scrypt with the easiest alt coin.

I'm just curious what hash power would reach an Univesity professor (mathematician), making calculations on paper?
Would he be able to make at least one share?

and what would be easier for him to solve, scrypt or sha?

thanks for your opinions

I think the more interesting question is whether autistic savants can do any type of hashing or be taught to do it. They might be able to find the blocks orders of magnitude faster when compared to current gen asics.

nice article, I like the part

"...1 to 2 hashes per minute per child... with abacus 3-4 hashes ... Do you have any idea how many idle children there are in India?"

Cheesy

It is really hilarious Cheesy

BTW, the non-existent Bitcoin Mining Child Foundation received 0.051 btc donation lol. Cheesy

Wanna know how good your are at math without realising it?

Toss a ball with your left hand and catch it in your right hand...

... congrats, you just solved a third order differential equation.

Is that good? lol

Hodl!

Somebody on reddit I think ran the numbers on human hash speed, wasn't very impressive, I think what also should be considered is the ULTIMATE speed a human could manage. There's some Japanese speed math techniques on a "mental" abacus, that get extremely rapid results for simple operations. Anyway, I think with those, you could possibly solve one hash every few minutes.

human brain made computers and programmed them to do whatever they can do now , so its obvious who is smarter .

It's not obvious. You not seen the matrix? And try beat a calculator lol.

so humans didn't make calculator ?

What?

You were saying try to beat a calculator but even calculator is invented by humans at first place.

Never said they wernt.

Calculating the double of 3193757 very fast is not smart,
but beeing able to make a machine that can take this number
(well in binary so its 1100001011101110011101) and double it very fast is.
