Or just use a decimal hash, rather than hex? Eg in python3:

  import hashlib as h
  int(h.sha256(b" ").hexdigest(), 16)

  h.sha256(b" ").hexdigest()
> 36a9e7f1c95b82ffb99743e0c5c4ce95d83c9a430aac59f84ef3cbfab6145068

It's longer, but even a 256-hash isn't that long? (and sha1 would probably be fine, obviously)
