# this is a simple script to generate checksums and
# find ones that start with zeros. when a matching
# checksum is found, it outputs it and looks for
# the a checksum with one more zero.

# you can see in the output below that it took only
# 9 tries to find a checksum with one zero, and it
# took 6132845 tries to find one with six zeros.

# example output:
