Who should I attribute as the creator of the robot images? You, the website, or the author of the hashed plain-text?
Just attribute it to RoboHash.org, that should be fine.

#42Strange. No matter WHAT STRING I ENTER, it ALWAYS creates the SAME robot. Is this site just a psychological experiment designed to collect user names??

#43What sort of "Super-Awesome new forum" is this for?

#44I like it but shouldn't it do similarity instead of producing a unique bot? For example, "similar" strings should produce similar bots.

#46Morning, I created this as an extended-weekend project, after realizing that I'd need these hashes as a part of larger project I'm working on. Basically, Text goes in, Picture of a Robot comes out. Where I'm using this is sort of like an identicon, to help quickly identify a poster's 4096-bit public keys, and see if you're talking to the same man. Is it perfect? No, but it's a quick visual guide to any text, in the f…
Robohash looks great. As the 'inventor' of Identicon, I've been meaning to revisit the subject with animal (identimal) or robot (identibot) themes in mind so it's nice to see your rendition of the later. Well done, sir.

as in 10^6 possibilities, ignoring backgrounds? For the curious, that means collisions are expected >50% of the time with ~1200 samples, and someone could easily generate collisions on purpose with little effort. So it works well for a simple signal (which is the goal), but shouldn't be relied on if people might try to abuse it.
If you use all three sets (?set=any), plus backgrounds, that adds two additional choices, which brings us into the 100+ Million category. As a signal to review the Pubkey, that's probably enough. I could have made up more Random elements, but that'd take more time/money, which isn't worth it unless anyone outside of me actually wants it ;)
Sounds like it would be a pretty good "did I type my password correctly?" indicator.

#48The similarity between http://robohash.org/yes and http://robohash.org/no is striking.
there's something wrong with the algorithm, the yes guy looks like he's saying no

Were you in Firefox, by chance? There was a difference in the FF evaluates the JS, versus Webkit, when retrieving document.form, so I switched it to getelementbyid.

Identicons are a great idea, I really love them.. They're a good solution to a gut-check "Something is wrong here.."
Sort of like a SSH-fingerprint.
The problem I've had with them is that they're generate not all that memorable. Was that triangles pointing left, then up, or up then left?
This is my attempt at addressing that problem for my own new project, but I'd love to see what you build! If you want to use these images, feel free. They're CC-BY, so they're open to the world now ;)
