[wiki] Ethash visualization #618

Closed lookfirst closed 6 years ago

lookfirst commented 6 years ago

I ran across this visualization that someone did:

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/12yaGlsb5cz7IlWXcwgT6xXympFDVf84C6UrYkqHRipQ/edit

Also explained here:

It seems like adding the diagram to this page, would make sense, but I am not sure of its correctness. That said, the general idea of the diagram really helped me visualize things far better than a bunch of code on the page.

Opening this issue for discussion for adding it. Thanks.
