M.Eng. student with a Math/CS background looking for a thesis topic to contribute to #Bitcoin, #Lightning, #Cashu, or #Nostr. Currently grinding through the NIPs and "Mastering Bitcoin." Also fascinated by the encrypted messaging space (#Bitchat and NIP17) and protocol-level challenges. What's a problem you’d think would be interesting for a grad student to solve and valuable for the space? Things like scalability, privacy, UX or maybe an audit of something? Hit me with your best ideas! DMs open for a deeper chat. #Thesis #Engineering #Nostr #Bitcoin #Coding #OpenSource

Is it viable to have a system, where there is a small crc/hash within a payload, calculated from the payload itself, as an alternative to PoW of finding a hard hash.
