Stupid question
Xor urls - how are they defined by now…? I saw a lot of discussion and this rfc
Sorry for not participating in this earlier and complaining now… But since the proposed z-base32 encoding is no standard encoding I wasn’t able to simply just generate the string and try to see my uploaded data with the browser…
Since this was kind of a bummer for me (and the z-base32 implementation for python that can simply installed with pip is python2 only for now) I thought it would ask why you want to use a non standard encoding which might cause trouble with other programming languages too…?
The argument with easier readability doesn’t count imho because we are talking about xor addresses which are hashes of data (at least for immutable data…?) which should result in kind of randomly distributed bits… So the characters should appear pretty much equally distributed (and with creating a new mutable data with the create new random it should be the same)
In addition to this I like the argument that base64 encoding is shorter (and nobody would type those links by hand anyway)
