AstroBWT

AstroBWT is a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm based on Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT).

Developed and used by the DERO Project for Mobile (arm)/CPU/GPU Mining on their mainnet since March 2020.

How it works

• Step 1: calculate SHA3 of input data
• Step 2: expand data using Salsa20
• Step 3: calculate BWT of step 2
• Step 4: calculate SHA3 of BWT data
• Step 5: calculate size of stage2 with random number based on step 4
• Step 6: expand data using Salsa20 with size of step 5
• Step 7: Calculate BWT of data from step 6
• Step 8: calculate SHA3 of BWT data from step 7
