I'm trying to compare hashes to calculate a number indicative of their level of similarity. Any thoughts about how to compare these strings? The strings are same length and identical hex in the same location indicates similarity. For example, hashes 3 and 4 both start with 'e', so +1 for their similarity. Their positions 7 and 8 are also identical, so +2.
