Sounds like just pressed keif with a pollen press. But do put up a report if you decide to do it. btw 2 grams in firecrackers is a fair amount LOL

No, hash is keif with heat added to help it hold together more instead of crumble.
No, hash is an agglomeration of trichomes. You can achieve this by many methods, but heat is not necessary. I've made hash in my shoe before. If it crumbles very easily, it wasn't pressed hard enough. You might like to read the BL wiki article (written by some mysterious, intelligent, sexy individual) here.
It's the principle of the thing.

^Beat me to it 
To be clear, the hash I have that I was talking about doesn't crumble easily, it's in very solid blocks. By crumble I just meant that when I break it apart it kinda crumbles, it has a hard texture.
No, hash is compressed trichomes. Read this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashish
The first paragraph is helpful-
"Hashish is a preparation of cannabis composed of the compressed stalked resin glands called trichomes, collected from the cannabis plant. It contains the same active ingredients but in higher concentrations than unsifted buds or leaves. Hashish is often a paste-like substance with varying hardness and pliability. Its color is most commonly light to dark brown, but can vary toward green, yellow, black, or red."
One of the earliest ways of making hash is to simply rub your hands against the plant and then collect the dust on your hands and press it. No heat is required to make hash.
Some hash crumbles, some is sticky and pliable, it just depends on the method used to make it. But it's all hash.
You have no idea how jealous I am right now. Those look amazingly delicious.

You can compress kief without heat is the point, and hash is just the name for compressed kief. Like Yerg mentioned though, this has gotten way off topic.
Now it's on topic, because it has its own thread.
So, then, by your definition TID, charas and finger-hash, colombian hash, my shoe hash...none of it is actually hash because it isn't pressed with heat? In fact, most of the hash produced in Morocco, and therefore the world, would not be properly called "hash" under your definition.
That quote is certainly not from my wiki article.

Why call it something either than kief then if there is nothing else done to change it?

Because hash is compressed and kief isn't. Something is done to change it.

Wouldn't it just be pressed kief then? Nothing is actually done to change anything, just pressure..

Yeah, hash is compressed kief. They're one and the same.
Pressure is more than enough to burst the trichromes and let them oxidise/age/decarboxylate.

Just pressure and friction..... which causes heat
science is cool.
My own method involves throwing a big pile of kief in my small mortar & pestle, setting it on a hotplate, and then grinding/blending/pressing which rapidly causes the trichomes to conglomerate.
after that, I can press it into whatever form I wish. The more heat applied, the darker it gets. I've even just made a personal batch of hash that turned out as red and gooey as Georgia clay.
I've also noticed that hash made from kief, obtained with an average grinder for the bud smoker, and possibly containing trichomes from a dozen different strains, tends to crumble more easily than hash made in one batch from a single bud harvest. At least that's how it appears to me.
Too much plant material in hash gives it a green tint, makes it crumble, and burn more readily as well. I like my hash to bubble & melt.

I love bubble hash or hexane oil

I dont use heat i use water & ice.
It can be pressed or let dry as is. Pressed gets you the dense ball type hash and air dryed is flaky.
When makin bubble there is on avg 8 grades of concentrate. Grades 6 thru 8 get mixed up and 1-2 stay seperated.

I have a grinder that lets the keif fall to the bottom. I always use the keif by throwing it on top of a bowl. I have a pollen press but rarely use it. Is the advantage of hash its compact size, and portability, or is there a change in the potency? Will I get more from my keif if I make it into hash or should I just smoke it as is.
tl,dr~whats the advantage of hash over keif.

which kind do you make for added flavor. my keif tastes like heaven but im always down for improvement.
