How about this?               MK> 6076da69-1689a348        MK> 6076da69-16bf0244        MK> ...              It doesn't conform to the standard.               WvV>> If you do that correctly, it's superior to the random one...               MK> See above but just for fun I will do it side by side just like before.               MK> 6076e0bd-22d50e70 n3yM8uFm        MK> 6076e0bd-246302d4 sL4Irxdg        MK> 6076e0bd-25d0d1f0 8fq4vU7e        MK> 6076e0bd-276236a4 Aez4QZog        MK> 6076e0bd-28f6291c jbQiqKYc        MK> 6076e0bd-2a842704 gElrH3UT        MK> 6076e0bd-2bf24d98 8qmyLLQR        MK> 6076e0bd-2d8103dc Pbeaul1Z        MK> 6076e0bd-2f0436d0 IHsKacHr        MK> 6076e0bd-30a01b60 0An6jRkx               MK> My best guesstimation is that the random one is superior given that it        MK> doesn't require a rewrite of current FTN standards.              It doesn't conform to the standard either...               MK> However I do plan to change that and then for sure the unixtime based        MK> one will be superior and unique for all time, nevermind 3 lousy years.              I suggest you don't waist your time on fighting to get the existing standard       changed. It's wasted energy.              If you want a better unique identifier in ftn messages, create a new kludge       (see my suggestion for the @UUID one, which needs a @RUID btw for replies), so       you can do what you want, and make it as good as possible without having to       consider existing software. Then write a proposal and convince software       developers to implement it in their software.                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 452 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 1016 1017 240/1120 2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 770/1 2454/119       PATH: 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
