Voted down just to ruin your expectation of positive karma (not really).

How will I ever guess the 7-bit message behind such a secure 160-bit hash?

Nice try, but I phrased my prediction as a sentence. Granted, the search space of all sentences describing a karma prediction is smaller than the hash search space, but it's probably big enough that you won't be able to guess my prediction and spite me by voting in the opposite direction.

Damn, should have read this before I checked!

I confess I can't quite be bothered to check, but: it's not salted? oops!

0 isn't positive so I was wrong.

Yep, I was expecting that reaction. :)

You were obviously expecting the 'not really' part too!

Unfortunately your post is at +2 at the moment so it isn't worth me bothering with a downvote.
