This doesn't actually invert a Merkle tree though, since you have to recompute the hashes (except the leaf hashes) when you invert a Merkle tree. Gonna be a no-hire evaluation from me dawg.


The tweet this is based on is a joke. To invert a Merkle tree would mean to invert cause and effect. I’m pretty sure the tweet author is implying they want you to find a hash key collision for each node. Hope you have a couple spare universes in your pockets because this is gonna take a while.
