I did some digging and came up with this distinguished number: 00000000000000001e8d6829a8a21adc5d38d0a473b144b6765798e61f98bd1d
That's the Jeopardy answer. Just for fun, I'll let you figure out the question.

You'll have to find a much more distinguishing characteristic than what a simple google will tell you.

The lowest hash hit?
Ding ding ding - you are a winner! Though I also speculate that it is the largest number of leading zeros for the hash of any known input. Here is a list of the top 10 hashes to date, followed by the block number in which they appear. It is based on the "hashPrev" values of a recent blockchain. And of course, the first is the made-up value from the genesis block. [('0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', -1), ('00000000000000001e8d6829a8a21adc5d38d0a473b144b6765798e61f98bd1d', 125552), ('0000000000000000629981ebad88aafb5856e6663998d1083d74008be66a384a', 133316), ('00000000000000011ac23090a91a9297e8cb27c6d81cea9fc429fd37468d509e', 128456), ('000000000000000166b3b12f3e8928897fa5241985e75a9d31945dc2d22a39c8', 130557), ('0000000000000001e4646f3b4841707b62ecf7412ebc0bdbd2538e745d474a79', 133047), ('0000000000000001f2542ad9420bb538ffebd2e872d1dcbed233d07dc5eb0e01', 132103), ('00000000000000022d118b8a6b54cf261f3fb854b32f57d70545ad566e4adc7f', 132750), ('0000000000000002739d5a374b95e8bd7f5b7c810d07407924385b2181586dc6', 131384), ('0000000000000002ed549896e4571ab6ec7d805741038cb8dac97d4c2917c729', 128687)]
Followup question: what is the exact input for this hash? I guess it would be best to provide it as an easy-to-copy-paste value, i.e. in some standard encoding like base64, so it is easy for folks outside of the bitcoin community to validate it.

So is this the equivalent of brute forcing a 64 bit password? edit: I mean a password that is 64 bits long, encrypted with SHA-256.

So is this the equivalent of brute forcing a 64 bit password? edit: I mean a password that is 64 bits long, encrypted with SHA-256. Well, 67 bits. I'd say that if a password hash algorithm produced exactly 67 bits (i.e. sha256(sha256(input)), truncated after the 67th bit), we have to date demonstrated a crack of a particular value (all zeros). Or, we've done something that requires 2^68 work (2^67 * 2 hashes per attempt). I'd also like to know the cumulative number of sha256 hashes done to date by bitcoin miners, which should be on the same order of magnitude.

I wrestled through the non-standard use of little-endian hashes and input values in bitcoin, and dug out the block input which results in this tiny tiny hash output. I documented it all as an example in the wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_hashing_algorithmHere it is in hex: 0100000081cd02ab7e569e8bcd9317e2 fe99f2de44d49ab2b8851ba4a3080000 00000000e320b6c2fffc8d750423db8b 1eb942ae710e951ed797f7affc8892b0 f1fc122bc7f5d74df2b9441a42a14695 Note that you have to convert it to binary, hash it with SHA-256 twice, then reverse the bytes to get the value you compare with the target. Then convert back to hex to match the blockexplorer representation of the hash: 00000000000000001e8d6829a8a21adc5d38d0a473b144b6765798e61f98bd1d

So is this the equivalent of brute forcing a 64 bit password? edit: I mean a password that is 64 bits long, encrypted with SHA-256. More than that, as explained above it equals roughly 67 bits. Then again, do remember the BTC network has GPU power equaling 146 petaFLOPS (146,407 gigaFLOPS) average as of July 2011. That's over a hundred times faster than the Tianhe-1 supercluster that held the #1 position on the top500.org list of the world's most powerful computers.
