Hi, I just finished benchmarks on an Intel P4 2.4GHz (run from a DOS-window inside Windows 2000 SP4). Version 1.22 doesn't seem to work very well in my computer. I downloaded both http://www.hashcash.org/binaries/win32/hashcash-1.22-win32-exe.zip and hashcash.exe frmo same folder. My old copy of version 1.18 works, so at the end is my addition to the list of benchmarks. /Simon Bohlin >hashcash122 -svb 20 Rate Name (* machine default) 832624 SHA1 library (hashcash) Solution: 1:22:040404:foo@xxxxxxx::0123456789abcdef:000000Tu1n Iterations: 7831665 Time taken: 9.406 1065780 ANSI Compact 1-pipe Solution: 1:22:040404:foo@xxxxxxx::0123456789abcdef:0000033LsQ Iterations: 51207578 Time taken: 48.047 ERROR!
