That FAQ article is old and I'm going to update it to point at https://lbry.io/faq/naming https://lbry.io/faq/naming. You can get names as short as:
lbry://name#a
Where #a can actually be that short.
If you want a name with no identifiers or filters at all, the voting system will continue to be used.
- tyingq 10y agoWhat are valid characters for an identifier? Can I have lbry://foo## for example?
- kauffj 10y agoIt matches by claim id, which is a much longer hash, but the system will do partial matches. In the case of conflicting partial matches, the first claim (temporally) is resolved.
- tyingq 10y agoEdit: Ignore below...you already said earliest claim is preferred. I need to stop skimming. (or I missed a stealth edit?) Ah, so everything after the # is random then. And if you choose to abbreviate, you are risking whatever the collision likelihood is, in 4 bit increments, assuming the hash is hex digits. There doesn't appear to be a throttle on claims, so choosing to abbreviate with just one character could be risky? Or does your substring match prefer earliest claim?
- kauffj 10y agoYes, substring matches prefer earlier claims.
- CJefferson 10y agoSo i can still quickly camp on all the single letter extensions to popular names?
- tyingq 10y agoWell, a-f and 0-9, and they are randomly assigned.
