A) I like encryption. It's one of the most interesting things in the world to me, and I love messing around with it. Same goes for hashing, cryptographic or otherwise. (See: SHA set, MD#, etc.) If I really wanted to have a secure encryption, I'd use one that already existed.

B) Well, first off, $base will also return a rounded result. And, due to the fact that I mostly enjoy simply messing around with encryptions, doing the same thing repeatedly would be no fun.

And for those working on writing calculation scripts, good job. Those are rather nifty.
Currently, I'm looking into learning Python and/or Ruby, because I recently discovered a means to embed Ruby and Python code into mIRC scripts. It looks like a really great idea, and I want to try it out.


Alright so MD5 hashing mirc has a $md5 command. It returns Hex 0-9 A-F Data.

Im not sure of mIRC's MD5 algorhitm therefore I couldn't help much upon it + I don't know if mIRC depends on a checksum value. If this was assembly then I would definently be able to help.

There are generic tables that can be used to decrypt the md5 hash however, I would need to know how the $md5 was written into the compilation of mirc.exe

Code:
if $reality > $fiction { set %sanity Sane }
Else { echo -a *voices* }
