Rate My Awesome Cryptographic Hash Algorithm


unsigned long hash(unsigned char *str)
{
unsigned int hash = 0;
int c;

while (c = *str++)
{
hash += c;
}

return hash;
}


Spent hours designing it. It is safer than md5!

Thinking about hash algorithms, it is astoundingly how everything is related: we use mostly the same techniques to compute hashes and to reduce dimensions in AI algorithms. Mammal brain too reduces it similarly, because dendritic tree is basically a hash function, so, in a nutshell, brain is mostly a big hashtable.
