do you think we have to double SHA again?

I don't think we have to double SHA. But i just might be wrong because what i'm doing certainly doesn't work

That might just be the chemical composition of the missing element?

Any Bio scientist on here?

Chemist. Nope.

Double SHA-256 of Tomb of Horrors

edit: im genius hahahahaah xD

Well done dude! How did you know that double hashing would work / help?

I still haven't understood "Bit Sha", anyone care to explain it to me?

After OP linked to the bitcoin protocol we all understood what she meant. then the question was only if it was double sha or sha+ripe-md160. Turned out to be double sha.

The thing that bugs me about the double SHA thing is that the second SHA is taken on the STRING value and not the hex value.
