Oh.... Visually even. Not #s. Now makes sense.

yes,
Usernames/Avatars in cryptospace are hopelessly unreliable,
but we can defer to that label.
But it hurts the brain to recognize when scrolling the field.
Color can help.
replied 1706d
Colors can make names more recognizable at a quick glance. As is- looks like analyzed data sheets for stock market. Unorganized. Painful
replied 1706d
That brain-pain is what I am looking to 'fix'.
It is not actually 'fixable'
but carefully smearing color-coded lipstick
on a flock of pigs
looks like it might at least be fun.

People don't realize how much what they look at effects their very state of mental and emotional health.
Simple art skills are very much needed and can prevent violence & stress.

..so similar to identicons?
replied 1706d
It must be legible as the text string that it is.
Identicons are interesting but require interpretation.
Alphabet makes the hash usable,
and color patterns help recognizability.
replied 1706d
What are you able to vary besides fill-colour, e.g. font, size etc?

Perhaps background color could have pattern
I worry it might make legibility fuzzy.
replied 1706d
If 1 or 2 characters could be selected to have non-linear visual properties e.g. went above or below the line then it helps the brain map a string of otherwise flat text.

Actually, i you're looking at a list of these on a webpage, it will confuse the brain because it's been taught that certain legible lines belong in just that line....

Will also cause 'tacky effect' overload for the eyes, especially since there's multiple colors used for each separate one.
replied 1706d

This is what yours might look like.
Please don't throw anything breakable...;)
replied 1706d
Better. I think when the same or similar colors are neighbored it's easier to look at. McDonalds picked red and yellow to get people to leave faster. The contrast is uncomfortable.

This inspired the most amazing thought:
Math might show some addresses are more "lucky" than others.
And there is a better way to display the multi-dimensional forces involved.
replied 1706d
Not exactly luck in this case lol. But my life was definitely; well; extreme to the point that just proves I was set apart by both sides of the war to put it shortly.

breathtakingly Ugly
replied 1706d
But not in a list
- simply as the avatar (replacing identicons)
signaling where the posts came from.
replied 1706d
Can that same gradual fade be done for that? 'One' looks more naturally like 'one' when visual changes are more gradual.
replied 1706d
Excellent idea to explore !
Lower-case has descenders, Upper Case bores straight
perhaps limiting it to numbers or hexadecimal set (0-f)
I will test "superscripting" hexadecimals

I understand this is why dyslexic folk struggle when everything is WRITTEN IN CAPS
replied 1706d
Two-dimensions (like QRcodes or indenticons) is a possibility,
but then flow is broken.
Probably why we rarely see names in 2d:
Lucia -
'Catfish' -
Bertha -
Whifflemeister

A blind-spot which prompts to ask.
Vary too much and it becomes a useless fuzzy heiroglyph.
Color-blindness must remain a priority.
One thing is obvious - font should be white.
replied 1706d
To that end I'd make every 3rd character determine the colour for a block of 3. More visually mnemonic. Can it be spread across multiple lines? e.g. 3 lines of 11 characters

Yes much easier on the eyes especially when viewed in a list of others ;)
replied 1706d
Precisely the sort of thought I hoped to read.
I will generate a few examples of what I have now for demonstration.

Expanded to Base64,
I am looking at this at the moment
