Hello everyone,

either i'm doing something wrong or there is a error on wiki.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses

In step 6 it says that that hash value of

445C7A8007A93D8733188288BB320A8FE2DEBD2AE1B47F0F50BC10BAE845C094

is

D61967F63C7DD183914A4AE452C9F6AD5D462CE3D277798075B107615C1A8A30

but when i calculate it in a hash tool for example on http://www.hashgenerator.de/ i get

7760845dcfd8c366ae89620be2f368d255d710bc7493628ca0dcded9ca476e5a

als result.

Where is the error?

Greetings

Because that one takes the hash of a string, not the actual hexadecimal value it represents in the memory.
