That is helpful, thank you. However, what do the x and __ symbolize? I count only 16 "valid" characters on the examples you provided from the reals and fakes.

0x is added to the beginning of a hex number to show it is hex and __ shows there is more than what is shown

Thanks, this is the "last" piece of the puzzle.

I feel I have a rudimentary grasp of the hexidecimal residues now. I will do further investigation on my own. Thank you to all who provided me asssistance and were patient with me!

Only 14 of the 16 residue digits are shown and last 2 is hidden by __, to be sure doublechecks are really genuine. Only on your own LL tests can you see all 16 digits.
