@athalhammer

My question is around xid's that may be facing users of a software (i.e. not just stored as keys in a database).

As it is a 20 characters string and the alphabet includes most characters of the alphabet there are decent probabilities that the accidental f*ck shows up or even whole offensive short sentences are formed. Has anyone considered this aspect before and, if yes, found reasonable solutions that would be practical?

I could think of:

  • re-encoding the bytes with a reduced alphabet
  • switching some of aeiou for wxyz
