it's initial hash of the first half of the data - later using as an input to the double-hash of the second part of the data. I don't think "using" it speeding up hashing? where did you heart of it?
you already use it since it's a part of the getwork protocol afaik.
Topic: What is a midstate? (Read 643 times)
This defines "midstate" as the "precomputed hash state after hashing the first half of the data."
I've heard "midstate" used in the context of speeding up hashing. How does using a midstate speed up hashing?
