Also, no matter how similar two inputs are, they will never have the same result with the new system. Ever 4. Crypt that variable with the UNIX password hash algorithm (using the hashed plain text as a salt), then spit out the last 10 characters

It's called ignorance, and is fairly common in this world.

This is not better. This is just incompatible and dumb, and fully missing the point of tripcodes to be somewhat sharable among sites that use them.

A better idea would've been to use the existing tripcode algorithm, but make the output language any Unicode code point. This would reduce the number of characters you have to look at to distinguish tripcodes, and it's an easy transformation from the existing style to/from the Unicode style.

This is a good idea, as long as you make a 1024 character alphabet (to encode 10 bits per character) out of hand-picked characters, not just anything, otherwise arab would start showing up and then you have the homographic issues with latin, cyrillic, greek, diacritical marks, etc.

The only reason why tripcodes are Inter-site-sharable is because they are all designed to use the same hash and salt. If these things are known, then there isn't much point in having a unique 'tripcode identity' within these sites when it is trivial to crack this identity.
