Actually I'm pretty sure you can use the built in crypto without any modification, since it is already a multiple of 64 it won't try to pad it.

Python code makes it really simple:
Code:
    def checkwork(block, difficulty_rep):
        s = hashlib.sha256(block.decode('hex'))
        val = int(s.hexdigest(), 16)		
        diff = int(difficulty_rep, 16)
        return val < diff

Slush, I meant to say that I noticed a drop of about 1 BC in the reward field, in that it was ~6 and when I refreshed my browser it was ~5.  That is why I asked if you changed how the 'reward' is calculated.  I just wanted to let you know so that you may investigate if it was a bug, or something you already knew about.

?

First I think we should be thanking slush for running this service completely for free, and not taking a percentage for himself.

I can say that I have received my share from the first few blocks. And I personally do not believe this to be a scam, anyone who is pissed that they are not receiving their .01 BCs needs to chill out and realize that mining is probably not for you.  The energy spent setting up a client and complaining about the free service offered to you may well cost more than the value of what you generate.

Thanks for this service, it is great for what it is.

What just happened? The amount my 'Reward' field just decreased without any BC's being sent out.

Was the reward field previously = balance + expected reward ?
