First of all, here is a brief and clear basic knowledge. In order to keep the layout and your reading more comfortable, I use a picture as the main display, but you could also view the text version in spoiler:

@popdrome once talked about how to copy it in aMule (In fact, it is not the mac version, but all platforms):

First I put the file in my shared folder. Then I wait for aMule to register it.
In the shared files list, I right-click the link. I have then 3 ways I can copy the link to clipboard:
1. a magnet link
2. an ED2K link
3. an ED2K link (AICH)

It's the third one emuler was asking for.
I've found this online:

it's a learning curve I guess! :icon_killcomputer
But in fact you could do this also in eMule.
In the Shared Files panel, right-click on files open Show ED2K Link in menu and you will find that it generates a ed2k link with the "h=" field.
Yes, you got it!

In addition to AICH, you could also include HASH (Message Digest) information for your files when posting to help further file consistency and integrity verification.

You could use the OpenSSL command line tool, or any graphical tool to generate and check HASH values, for example:

And in fact, file hosts like pixeldrain also provide SHA256 hash for us to verify the integrity and consistency of files:
