=== Block Identifiers: Block Header Hash and Block Height
The primary identifier of a block
The ((("blocks", "identifiers", id="block-identify")))((("block header hash", id="block-header-hash")))((("block height", id="block-height")))primary identifier of a block
is its cryptographic hash, a commitment made by hashing the
block header twice through the SHA256 algorithm. The resulting 32-byte
hash is called the _block hash_ but is more accurately the _block header

A block's _block hash_ always identifies a single block uniquely. A
block also always has a specific _block height_. However, it is not
always the case that a specific block height identifies a single
block. Rather, two or more blocks might compete for a single position in
