Thanks. I've been working on my own image board script and was thinking of implimenting tripcodes in it. I think I may just use regular user registrations though, if people want to be identified, they may as well be identified by a name, otherwise they can just post anonymously. Interesting read though.
Mind you I haven't tested it yet... it works if my code shows as "iNEBAda496"

I can't give you much help on the actual usage and translation, but tripsage+ is the one for making 10-character tripcodes like on 4chan. The code I'm using was made with plain tripsage and it works, but appends 2 characters to the front.

This is an implementation difference between boards. Some have the extra two and some don't (I believe this is the salt, in which case the extra two should definitely not be there).

It isn't the salt, DES output is the salt (two characters) then 11 more for a total of 13, boards with 8 char trips take the last 8 and 10 take the last 10. I know of no board dumb enough to display the salt, as it would give away two characters of the 8 in the tripcode.. complete gg? (Or give you a lot less variations unless the replacement for non-valid salt characters was random, [a-zA-Z0-9./] are the only valid salt characters)
Yeah it is overly complicated.. but that is largely due to people not knowing about them telling others about them and as result of the many different implementations.. the short of it is put #blah in the name field (after your name if you want one) where blah is 1-8 characters in the set A-Za-z0-9 and a few other characters, but don't use '">< that would get turned into an html entity if you want things to work everywhere.. if you are honestly confused about something still though feel free to ask
