How do I use a “tripcode”?
Tripcodes can help verify a user’s identity to others, and are a type of pseudo-registration. To use a normal tripcode, place an octothorpe (“#”) followed by a word or short phrase after what you’ve entered into the [Name] field (ex. “User#password”). Upon submission, the server will generate the hash unique to that particular word or phrase. The previous example would display “User !ozOtJW9BFA” after being posted. Important note: A tripcode is generated only using the text entered after the octothorpe. Your entered name, IP address, cookie information, etc. do not affect the output. Normal tripcodes are *not* secure; they can be cracked with relative ease. For a more secure solution, see secure tripcodes.
