Napkin math incoming... Say you only used a-z in your token, at 1 character long you have 26^1 combinations, at 6 you have 26^6 or 308,915,776 combinations, which could easily be scanned. Increase the length to 26^ or 95,428,956,661,682,180

This is the choice I made (UK based) and 5 years later I can say I'm doing fine and have no regrets. But what does concern me is the way college[1] staff reacted to this decision, from warnings in one to one chats down to outright scar

One of my college teachers actually tried this, it did not end well... A teacher should be a source of qualified help, not just a glorified marking machine. She also wasn't happy that I made space invaders instead of pong...

Am I missing something here? All I can find is a bunch of middleware and grunt. I'm starting to get sick of open source projects leading with a shiny marketing site...

I'm no expert in this, I just have a mild interest and it's really the boundary between the subcultures. I don't understand how banksy would be cashing in on hiphop culture? I just see him as an artist using a wall as his can
