 If ``maxLoopCount`` is set too small, the contract may not work correctly. If ``maxLoopCount`` is set too large, the resulting script is bloated unnecessarily and costs more to execute.
-There are a number of ways to choose the right ``maxLoopCount`` judiciously. One way is to simulate the contract off chain and find the number of loops.
+There are a number of ways to choose the right ``maxLoopCount`` judiciously. One way is to simulate the contract off chain and find the number of loops. Another way is to exploit the 
+characteristics of the looping itself. For example, if a loop iterates over each bit of a ``sha256`` hash, ``maxLoopCount`` is ``256``.
