why would you need to unique the hashes ? just for testing ?
again, it depends on if you have usernames within the hash file... a line is not unique unless both the username:hash is unique , but for performance reasons hashcat of course only cares about unique hashes (not about the users).
Since you said that you use --username --show... I expect that you also need to use --username to crack the hashes, right ? I.e. hashcat -m 1000 -O -a 3 --username hashfile ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
--show of course will show ALL the cracks, not only the ones from the last cracking job... therefore it could be that you are seeing all cracks that you cracked with other attacks/jobs
