Just lucked into 33rd place with 16 lines of single threaded C# doing ~1MH/sec.

Bug: The site says "nonce: 1-64 characters from Base64 (a-zA-Z0-9+/)" but it accepts "=" as well.

Reading the other answers about hand optimised CUDA and parallel Go and Rust, that's probably as high as I'll get.

I wouldn't worry, Go is not as fast as everyone believes it to be, particularly for tasks like these, unlike C# - there's a reason Nethermind Ethereum client uses pure C# without ever having to touch C or ASM (the performance critical parts of Geth, another Ethereum client that uses Go, are implemented in C and Go's "asm" instead).

Chose to fix that, but won't delete the submissions that used it. Thanks!

I used a classic cheat code to get a valid entry and a bit higher :D

though why limit the filter to all zeroes, here's double-0 facade...
