Any implementations of this you'd recommend? I write a lot of hash (content addressable/etc) code in my spare time and i'd be curious to toy with identifiers (256bit hashes) being provided to humans in human-friendly ways.
- redleader55 5y agoThe first thing that pops in my mind is choosing a dictionary of 2^n words and making an identifier that maps the 256 bit hash space to a k-tuple of words, where k = 256/n.
