something doesn't seem to be quite right with algo_via on 64bit yet

here's the output of cpuminer for a positive hash that was found running on testnet:

Code:

DBG: found zeroes in hash:
52a65c69ea7bfda3788ee2337f9bece38dbdc6d918c4e16c05f567b700000000
PROOF OF WORK FOUND? submitting...
PROOF OF WORK RESULT: true (yay!!!)

here is the correspoding output from bitcoins testnet debug log

Code:

it seems the byte swapping isn't working fully correctly yet, any hints?

nope, this is all correct. The line:
52a65c69ea7bfda3788ee2337f9bece38dbdc6d918c4e16c05f567b700000000

is actually the same value as the line:
hash: 0000000005f567b718c4e16c8dbdc6d97f9bece3788ee233ea7bfda352a65c69

which looks like a 32 bit word swap but the byteswap involved is hidden

If this was not done right you would not have gotten the 50.00 btc at the end.
