Does that offer any greater protection? That=E2=80=99s not so clear to =

against the final 20 byte hash. Specifically, in the first (notional) =

that hashes to the final hash. In the second (realistic) case, you =
merely need to add the sha256 hash into the problem, which doesn=E2=80=99t=
 seem to me to increase the difficulty by any significant amount?=20
