Hash: SHA1
Just for the record: "£" is a pound sign, "#" is a hash. Calling the
hash sign a pound sign goes way back to the days of ASCII-7 and
national ASCII variants. The UK national variant had a pound sign
where plain ASCII had a hash. If anyone is _really_ interested, the £
sign is a capital "L" (for libra, Latin for a pound) with a line
through it, a bit like dollars and letter "S".
