Stanford physicist finds that swirling liquids work similarly to Bitcoin (news.stanford.edu) 6 points by signa11 8y ago ↗ HN
[–] rhn_mk1 8y ago ↗ I feel the headline is misleading/clickbaity; the article posits that stirring a liquid is similar to a hash function. Hash functions have many more applications than Bitcoin, and are only a small part of how Bitcoin operates. [–] blinds 8y ago ↗ He’s created a hash function and hash functions have applications apparently.It’s publishable because you can link it to blockchain somewhere in the article.
