Module pow 

This crate provides a PoW mechanism that should be hugely expensive to reproduce on dedicated hardware. Given that Hashiverse is predominantly built upon proof of work, we want to put in some effort to make it difficult to cheat as a spammer or sybil using GPU or ASIC advantages. To this effect we cobble together a chain of different hashing algorithms with different repetition counts - all of which are pseudorandomly chosen based on the initial salt and each subsequent hashing round.

Functions

pow_compute_data_hash

Pre-hash all input data into a single 32-byte Hash.

pow_generate

Try forever until a valid PoW is found.

pow_generate_with_iteration_limit

Try find a sufficient PoW.

pow_measure

pow_measure_from_data_hash

Core PoW measurement given an already-pre-hashed data blob.
