Then people will be buying/selling UUIDS which are easier to pronounce or memorize. People will always consider patterns more valuable.
- Fnoord 9y agoIndeed. When I was hunting for ICQ numbers (see my other post how I did that) there were 2 golden aspects: 1) Short number. 2) Repeating digits like say only containing 2 or 3 numbers. One of these was great, but both? Jackpot. You could add a third factor: keypad pattern. It never occurred to me I'd use keypad to remember the number TBH, but IIRC one of my friends did care about that. I'm actually frightened by that option in Android I kid you not; I am frightened I forget the pattern! Of my own numbers discounting the starting 1 (I personally did not care about that one but I know others did) one ended with 0's and the other one only contained 2 different digits with one being twice the other one. Extremely easy to remember.
