Title: The "cafe" hash... how rare is that?
Post by: Blueberry408 on June 11, 2013, 07:03:15 AM
This recent block hashed down to cafe. http://blockchain.info/block-index/390079/00000000000000cafe0ff205066a340f7265d210b68aa786f9559a698d7d76d6

How often does that happen? Could we start getting designer hash hex's? Like if starbucks bought up all the BFL's, could they 51% in a 00000000000000cafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafecafe block or whatever?

cafe ... 4 bytes, 1 in 65536 chance. Of course as Crypt_Curent implied, its observer bias, hence face, dead, beef, f00d, e665, d1ed ... I could go on. Then for a 1 in 1048576 chance, you can add another letter etc.
