Memories – 256 bytes demo winner of Revision 2020
It would be 8^256. Less than you guessed but still a 232-digit number...

I don’t understand how it’s that low. 256 bytes, each with 256 possible values. 256^256.

I'm sorry, are you saying here that a byte can only express 8 different values?

Nope - it was late and I totally botched it. Rightfully downvoted.
