You spent two days generating a hash? What a waste of resources. EDIT: harsh crowd today. I could care less how the author spends their time. Am I the only one that saw all the articles talking about how bad BTC is for the environment recently?

I feel like either I'm misunderstanding your comment, or you've whooshed everyone else commenting on it so far.
Unrelated to the algorithm, I’ve found that doing things “by hand” is a surprisingly good way to develop intuition for otherwise opaque concepts. I wonder if it’s a function of doing work more slowly or paying closer attention. Examples include writing code written by others and working through math on paper.

Totally agree. I had a hard time trying to comprehend how parity works until I sat down and did some parity computations on paper.

Edit: I misread the GP, as explained below. Sorry! " Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. " https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Also maybe I’m crazy but their comment seemed to be a joke/commentary on the environmental resources used by Bitcoin. That isn’t a shallow dismissal.

True, I understood how pointer works when I drew them on paper. I was struggling for a week, then I tried on paper and in 10 minutes I got it.
