  1. Can't wait to hear the news, whatever this is the hash to.

  6. Results at http://gdataonline.com/seekhash.php are inconclusive. Guess I'll have to commandeer Jesse's Mini farm to do this the hard way...

  7. You've done this before... what's the process to cash in these hashes? Bugzilla?

  8. hg changesets like http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/index.cgi/rev/c5b6d415d822
    seem to be 12 digits, 5ce9134be8a642e1fbf3b93593da33e9 is 32.
    I'm stumped.

    It's no use searching the web for the hash. It's the hash of a prediction, and we'll get to know if he's right some day.
    But could you please tell us at least vaguely what the prediction is about?

  11. At first I thought it might be a git changeset, but then remembered mozilla uses hg.
    I'm out of ideas.

  12. I guess it's just the hash of a text field containing some novel idea. Having the hash posted here is a means to prove he's had the idea as soon as the posting date. Like if he was giving a sealed letter to a lawyer...

  13. ChrisJ probably has it right, I've done this myself once or twice... (albeit with an explanation)

  14. That's an awesome idea! Wish I'd've thought of doing that... Although I haven't had any worthwhile predictions that I'm aware of. Maybe it's the results of a lottery draw? Just kidding...
