Hi @Leix3, I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're asking. But I'll offer this:
We are able to generate the hash that Gravatar uses for your email because we have a copy of your email address. Since Gravatar does too, we are both able to generate the same hash for this value.
Obviously one of the key advantages to this system with Gravatar is that neither party shares the email address. They keep your data secure, and so do we. There's no way to get the original value without a brute force attempt.

if someone don't have a profile photo & i use the hash than i get the default gravatar logo.
Is there a way to know with the hash that i will get a default gravatar logo.
