Some images was removed by different reasons. Is it possible to show their hashes (MD5 or SHA)?

Nope, this was removed cause people hate you. :3

Don't worry, you can still find their md5 hashes very easily!
...Somehow~

lol admin trolling

and how to find hashes?

It helps if you have Jamaican friends.

Is a Jamaican girlfriend a friend?

Why I interesting about hashes: images was tagged... May be you don't want to keep these images on your site, but maybe someone have they in a personal collection and want to connect these images with the tags.

If you have them on your hard disk, then you already have the hashes. Just look at the filename.

Unless you renamed the files, then the hashes are still easy to get with any md5 hash generator.

Unless you don't actually have the files, then the hashes are _still_ easy to get, but I don't know if the admins consider it an exploit so I'm not telling on a public forum. :)

I have a picture pile without the tags ;-) And all peoples have the such pic piles.

I checked a random deleted post, observed that the tags still exist (wasn't sure). Providing hashes on all images for projects like this guy's XXX database wouldn't exactly violate the spirit of the e621/artist relationship... IMDB doesn't host the movies it rates for example. It's an interesting idea. The question got me to thinking about injecting tags, artist names or other info as metadata on the image itself. But since they are always getting edited that would mean the image metadata (and ironically hash) would always be changing which would probably cause performance problems. So I endorse the idea of including hashes, but who knows if Aurali or tony or whoever has the time to implement it. There's also the matter of backhashing 100k+ images... I don't know how long the actual calculations would take since I haven't done much of that, but doing it in a way that would allow them to be inserted into the database quickly would at least take some extra time. Already deleted images probably don't exist in the database, so they couldn't get a hash.

Your best current solution is to just favorite everything you download, and hope e621 exists for the rest of your life. Or make your own database+code that captures images as you saves them and grabs the metadata using the API I thought existed.

Oh, so you have files, but want the tags that go with them. That's a little harder, because you can't get deleted images in search results anymore.

You can search by md5 hash. For instance: md5:f33e328d480a0353e1db75473c04c476

But if that md5 represents a deleted image, you get no results back.

Actually the md5 WAS shown in the deletion reason, but I removed it a couple patches ago because it was just ugly and caused clutter and was probably only useful to two or three people. So adding it in would be easy (but I wouldn't put it back in the deletion reason).

Also, every post on the site has and has always had an associated md5 because it's an important piece of information. Whether or not we'll show it for deleted posts again, I don't know. Probably not though.

A filename of a picture is the MD5 hash. So this is simply to show hashes of pictures: simply show a filename always (for all pictures: deleted or not).
