This is cool. Isn't finding these the same as minting a new block of bitcoin? So definitially hard using our best understanding of algorithms, math, etc.

bitcoin is relatively easy. you are just hashing/permuting the block header until you get the lowest hash of all miners. it isn't hard, just expensive.
