“Cryptonight” tweet from Elon Musk
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared a tweet that he wrote only “Cryptonight” at night. No one knows what Musk is trying to convey with his Cryptonight tweet. However, some of the answers under the tweet offer different perspectives. For example, some users argue that Musk wants to write “Kryptonite”. Kryptonite is a fictional, green, crystalline material seen in the Superman series.
On the other hand, a mining called Cryptonight There is also an algorithm. It is also thought that Elon Musk may have mentioned this. CryptoNight is a proof-of-work (PoW) hash algorithm originally designed by the Bytecoin and CryptoNote developer teams. It was originally designed to accommodate CPU and GPU mining while also being resistant to ASICs. As an algorithm, CryptoNight can be thought of as something similar to SHA-256, the mining algorithm used for Bitcoin, or Scrypt, the algorithm used in the Litecoin protocol.
CryptoNight was designed as an equitable hash algorithm as it can be computed by CPUs and GPUs, but it is not very practical for use by ASICs. So, CryptoNight is a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm that was originally implemented on the CryptoNote protocol and has since been forked by projects like Monero and Bytecoin. The CryptoNight algorithm works by requiring access to memory and emphasizing latency dependency.
