Hey, you are discussing ways to circumvent the security risks of a weak hash algorithm.

That is the wrong way and only wastes time and energy.

Do NOT use a weak hash algorithm like SHA-1 at all any more.

Simply choose a strong one like SHA-2 or SHA-3.

This solution is so easy and helps much, much more than any use of salts or nonces.

Because then the problem that you are trying to fix simply does not exist at all!
