gollark: I don't know the exact Krist implementation.
gollark: If it doesn't you change one of the things (the nonce) and repeat.
gollark: You concat a bunch of things together, hash it, and see if it has enough leading zeroes.
gollark: The PotatOS krist miner was originally contributed by AlexDevs, so you should blame them for problems.
gollark: Perhaps if it did it would just crash immediately because of the entirely untested codepath there.
