Decode decodes the byte-reversed hexadecimal string encoding of a Hash to a destination.

DoubleHashB calculates hash(hash(b)) and returns the resulting bytes.

DoubleHashH calculates hash(hash(b)) and returns the resulting bytes as a Hash.

HashB calculates hash(b) and returns the resulting bytes.

HashH calculates hash(b) and returns the resulting bytes as a Hash.

NewHash returns a new Hash from a byte slice.

NewHashFromStr creates a Hash from a hash string.

HashSize of array used to store hashes.

MaxHashStringSize is the maximum length of a Hash hash string.
