For example:
A problem will be solved in many ways.
Most of us will solve in the most popular way.
But there are still very quick and much shorter solutions
so:
blockchain, tool, pool..what we will think about how.
I'm talking about most of us are using claymore to dig up ethereum.
How do people perceive it?

I hate these Digging threads , its mining wtf we don't dig in the dirt

First of all the Claymore ETH miner is just a mining software, the actual algo "Dagger Hashimoto" wasn't created by Claymore.

You can't really solve the block in a faster way but you can make your miner more efficient by using less power by saving some functions by skipping steps which aren't required or by using less computations.

However the way the block is hashed is completely random and there is no shortcut, its basically brute force. You have a hash, and you just add a nonce to it a few million times and hope your solution has enough zeros to become a block.

thank you!
I do not understand computer science but I would love to learn
That made me ask some silly questions
I do not know enough to understand your answer. And still wondering

Uhm, are you sure you understood how mining works?

As long as you design your Hash (or one-way-function) without any flaws there is no shorter path to a solution. You can only increase the speed at which you are trying through all possible hashes.

thank you!
I do not understand why I keep thinking like that
Although I'm very weak in computer science
