I would guess it is something signed with a private key so that the author of the throwaway comment can later prove they wrote it. Seems a bit short though.

- fpgaminer 10y agoAn uncompressed ECDSA signature is 64 bytes, which is the length of that string.
- oconnor663 10y agoIt's 128 hex characters, 64 bytes. That's exactly the size of an Ed25519 signature (https://nacl.cr.yp.to/sign.html https://nacl.cr.yp.to/sign.html), or just the SHA512 of anything.
