A comment on Show HN: Sslhash: SSL without a certificate authority.

Rather pointless to compare the SSL certificate to a hash ofcourse. Why not just compare it to a copy of the certificate. No need to obfuscate and allow user to be fooled with changed hash.

The hash is a lot smaller and less likely to be subject of a copy-paste error ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
