Damn son, what a fluke! hahahaha Grin

To unlock Crops:

shax2 Wow! = 807779b76e88b7aa9abc84a126822f76c0f24a28b5eb2ea1baa435eb09f5c155

Sorry for a bit offtop, but have a newbie question, how to get this? First calculate hash of "Wow!" (without quotes), then hash result again? Lowercase or uppercase? Already tried this bash script (''sh scriptname.sh Wow!''):

Code:
echo -n "$1" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | tr -d '\n' | openssl dgst -sha256

And this python code:

Code:
>>> a = hashlib.sha256()
>>> a.update("Wow!")
>>> a.hexdigest()
'4a7d6d3e8888a86b41c710f1d44c43d9ec7a4f97dce4f1ec3c0fb124ca0188de'
>>> a2 = hashlib.sha256()
>>> a2.update(a.digest())
>>> a2.hexdigest()
'15b46b4b87922f08d5cf6df20f900941953fb712df4bd2dda935f0b1f82b7cb9'

No matches. Look like all this time I do it wrong. Grin
