The unsolved math problem which could be worth a billion dollars.

No one on Earth knows how to reverse one of the most popular computer algorithms. Yet it's really easy to compute one-way.

You could make billions of dollars if you solved this mathematics problem, which is computed quintillions of times per second in the race for mining Bitcoin.

SHA256 has some amazing properties, is useful for digital signatures, cryptography, authentication, and is a central part of the Bitcoin protocol
