Wasn't expecting to stay in the top 100 for this long!

Initial C implementation got me to ~70 for a short time, then very sloppy racy pthreads one kept me at the tail end for a bit longer, but my again very sloppy cuda program running on my GTX1070 has me at 35 at the time of writing.

Rough calculation shows it to be doing 28.6MHashes/sec, and I suspect I could do a lot better than that if I knew anything about cuda programming.

I didn't read enough to know how to pick good values for blocks/threads per block, so I just benchmarked all the combinations of powers of two to arrive at the best result.

Really fun challenge!

Would be fun to see the total amount of valid submissions, and maybe the number of leading zeroes of a hash for those of us that need a moment to figure it out from hex in their head :]
