So forget everything I said about the version bits. You are\nright. But why take the midstate? It can be any hash of the first chunk. So\nyou probably want to take a hash function that's available in standard\nsoftware libraries. And I suppose midstate() is not.\n\n\nOn Wed, May 11, 2016 at 11:28 AM, Timo Hanke \u003ctimo.hanke at web.de\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e Sorry, you must have meant all 12 bytes.
