Usage

Usage:

import base64, hashlib, json

def solveChallenge(input, zeroCount):
    zeros = "0" * zeroCount
    postfix = 0
    while True:
        postfix  += 1
        stri = input + str(postfix)
        encodedHash = hashlib.sha256(stri.encode()).hexdigest()
        if encodedHash.startswith(zeros):
            x = 10 * [{ "hash": encodedHash,"postfix": postfix }]
            return base64.b64encode(json.dumps(x, separators=(',', ':')).encode()).decode()
            
# GET THESE VALUES FROM THE RESPONSE WHEN FETCHING
# THE CHALLENGE AT .../challengeapi/pow/challenge/...
input = "f02b931c-52f0-4507-9406-f1221678dc16"
zeroCount = 2
# RETURNS THE CHALLENGE SOLUTION
solution = solveChallenge(input, zeroCount)
print(solution)
