Dear Bitcoiners,

Just curious—since the probability of finding a hash that meets the target difficulty with enough trailing zeros is the same as finding a hash with trailing ones, why don’t we consider passing them through a simple NOT gate? This would allow their negative values to meet the same target bits, introducing them as a new coin in the market (Negative Coin) and adding value to the crypto ecosystem.
What makes this idea particularly interesting is that it requires no additional energy consumption—just a new series of miners with dual support (or firmware updates) for the possible new protocol.

So, while we currently look for these rare outputs:
10001010000000101100000000000000
10000100000000100000001001100100
01000010000000001010100110000100

let’s not discard similarly rare outputs:
11111111111111111110011111110101
11011101111100111011111111101111
11011100110011000111011111111001

Any feedback is welcome.
