Personally, I of course don't want this. Also, I don't think
the difference is much noticeable. But you can never be sure
without trying. I'll try to measure some numbers.

Actually, it is already 3rd same error in this file. Maybe
deserve some refactoring. I will change the message also.

Will the defined variables get to the next test? I'll try to
do as you describe.

Could you point me to it? I cannot find it.
My understanfing is that the current protocol assumes
40 symbols hash, so another hash length would be another
protocol, and since it's manually forged here it would
anyway has to be changeda.

Well here I just want to know that the request has failed,
and we already know that it can fail in different ways,
but the test is not going to differentiate those ways.

Will use ! there.

I'll check, but what could I do? Should I add blocking other
signals there?
