    m2usenet now saves Ed25519 keypairs locally and generates identicons via Stefan Claas's tool.

    Same identity now anchors Forbidden Archives authorship with Bitcoin-timestamped proof.

    It looks like that you don't use the latest release, because when I check your string with the latest release it looks different. You can see my actual identicon
    at https://oc2mx.net, which when you verify digital signatures from me with yubicrypt
    it looks the same.

    Hi Stefan,
    i wrote a PHP implementation of identicons using the GD library, for web server scenario.

    My algorithm is simplified compared to yours.

    - Single color layer (you use primary + secondary)
    - HSL colors derived from hash (you use fixed 16-color palette)
    - Same 5x5 symmetric grid

    Same input, different output.
    Not a version mismatch, it's a different implementation inspired by your concept but not compatible with yubicrypt.

    A case where cross-tool verification matters ?

    It should, doesn't it ?

    Hi Gabx, cross-tool would be nice to have some sort of a standard,
    because for visitors at your site it looks compatible, when reading,
    but is not.
