  <p>I am confused as to how a "32 bytes hash" can include more than 32 characters (even after the "0x000").  I was under the impression that each byte can represent a character.  I often see references, as well, saying things like "32 bytes address (64 bytes hex address)".  But how can a 64 byte hex address be represented if it is a 32 bytes address - would you still need a byte per character?  I know this is probably a stupid/noob question, and I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't quite figure it out.  </p>
