example was incorrect
the example event id had 21 leading zeroes, not 20 I provided new C code that has been tested to work (I couldn't get the original example code to work) and I provided some JavaScript code to test event ids as well. I did not re-compute the event id for the example event; I simply changed the nonce to be 21. Since it is an example, it may not matter that the event id is not correct.

`difficulty` is defined to be the number of leading zero bits in the `NIP-01` id. For example, an id of `000000000e9d97a1ab09fc381030b346cdd7a142ad57e6df0b46dc9bef6c7e2d` has a difficulty of `36` with `36` leading 0 bits.

`002f...` is `0000 0000 0010 1111...` in binary, which has 10 leading zeroes. Do not forget to count leading zeroes for hex digits <= `7`.

Here is some JavaScript code for doing the same thing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// hex should be a hexadecimal string (with no 0x prefix)
|
||||||
|
function countLeadingZeroes(hex) {
|
||||||
|
let count = 0;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for (let i = 0; i < hex.length; i++) {
|
||||||
|
const nibble = parseInt(hex[i], 16);
|
||||||
|
if (nibble === 0) {
|
||||||
|
count += 4;
|
||||||
|
} else {
|
||||||
|
count += Math.clz32(nibble) - 28;
|
||||||
|
break;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
return count;

|
}
