Is it possible to do some other sort of cryptographic trick than simply seeding the mix with known and knowns. Some sort of sum of many answers combined? Maybe it isn’t possible in this use case though (brute forcing passwords). For example is crypto POW really just doing a mix of known and unknowns or is there more cryptographic magic to it than that?
