=== Hashes ===

While less common, a randomly generated hash may be used in place of the character's write time. The hashes can be proprietary to the identification script, allowing for validation of the hash.

[[Katiserie]] was the second known user to create an identification script on December 20th, 2025. It attaches note links to all her messages which say "written by katiserie" when hovered over.<gallery heights="120">

HashBrown was later forked by Ա under the same name to make it use JavaScript links instead, then later renamed to "HashLink" because gimmickCellar asked for the name to be changed. HashLink was also updated to alternate between note links and JavaScript links, as well as make the hash use Unicode instead of numbers.

[ES] Este texto que ves arriba es un Hash usado para evitar la suplantación de identidad. Los usuarios (normalmente anons) han usado las funciones de nota o de javascript para intentar suplantar a alguien. El hash decimal significa que este texto fue escrito por 12345. No se tolerará ningún intento de suplantación de identidad. Este script no se compartirá con nadie, ni ahora ni nunca.

After [[The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026#Day 2: Green|the color green was re-enabled on the front page]] on February 3rd, 2026, JTPL was able to add note links and hashes to his messages without compromising their color.[[File:Linkwich greentime.png|none|thumb|February 3rd, 2026]]

'''<big>Update log</big>'''

1.0 and 1.1 script was broken.

1.2 ignored Chat, the syntax was to put an Unix timestamp on the X coordinate and the millisecond of the moment the char was typed in on the Y one.

1.3 allowed to press CTRL+SHIFT+Windows+` to power on OWOT Per-Char Time (it wasn't called Linkwich Greentime at the time), i now call this release the second one

1.4 allowed paste support. on the same release, the name was changed to the known good Linkwich Greentime. i switched to version

3.1 because of the name change and a new era on

3.2 a buggy menu item was added on 3.3. it was fixed

3.4 introduced alerts for if the script was on or off

3.4.1 was a grand change; switching to note links, reading i.e. "Written by JanTechPL on 1769459820'123"

3.5, or 4 was another big change - a hash was implemented

and now, we're on 4.1. the message "Written by JanTechPL. | Hash: (INSERT HASH) | This hash is a way to prove my text legitimate, to prevent people from attempts of impersonation." was added.

PLEASE READ THIS!

Recently, the “Great Color Ban of 2025/2026” has begun, dropping the amount of colors usable from the whole 24-bit color space to a mere 3.

Even though more colors have appeared, many people are forced to use the closest available color which is identical to some other people's choices. One method to put this lack of identification to a seemingly true end is to sign your text with your name.

But when you do that, there's an extreme chance that an impersonator will come by and turn your messages into something offensive or downright racist.

This is where come in useful: Hashes.

Or any dynamic stamp or signature that can be opened upon seeing text, to be honest.

A hash changes on a per-character basis and there is a very tiny chance that a hash could repeat. Most of the time, hashes are proprietary to the script they're tied to and thus have a low chance of being replicated by people with enough scripting abilities (who go too far just to harass one).

A static note: link is a weak protection.

A timestamp is a medium protection, but works well with most cases.

A hash is a strong protection.

So I went with a HASH. Works well for me.

Any attempts of impersonation are not tolerated and any impersonator will probably realize that what they do is harmful. Don't say they can't figure that out in a long period of time when making an impersonation attempt.

Thank you for reading all this!
