Hey Integer, I’ve been tinkering with a new hashing scheme that squeezes maximum entropy into the fewest bits—could use your knack for clean, optimal proofs to see if it stands up to brute‑force analysis. Interested?

I’ll drop the prototype on a private channel. The core idea is a two‑stage key‑mixing function that folds the input space into a compressed 128‑bit digest, then applies a lightweight avalanche layer. I’ll sketch the math and the expected collision resistance—think of it as a pseudo‑random oracle with a built‑in trapdoor. Check the pseudocode, then we’ll quantify the brute‑force cost and see where the proof can bite the gaps. Ready?
