I see cast hashes only takes three bytes (0xa35c instead of the long string). How is that resolved to the long hash, with `string.startsWith()`?

Yes, it's just a prefix match. Since the protocol allows up to 10K casts per user (before old casts start getting automatically pruned) we ended up being comfortable with the relatively small chance of a collision generated for a single user. Worst case, you can always add a few more characters, similar to Git.

The short hashes look clean, I like it!
