Hi!

I've been looking at the code for a LTC miner written in java(https://github.com/pooler/JMiner). And have a question

Is the way he compares the target and hash correct? I thought you had to compare them as numbers not individual bits

Code:

 for (int i = hash.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                        if ((hash[i] & 0xff) > (target[i] & 0xff))
                                return false;
                        if ((hash[i] & 0xff) < (target[i] & 0xff))
                                return true;
                }
                return true;
