<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''tripcode''' lets an anonymous poster on [[2swagg]] prove that two posts came from the same person, without there being any account involved.<br />
<br />
== How it works ==<br />
In the name field you type your name, then <code>#</code>, then a password:<br />
<br />
Anonymous#hunter2<br />
<br />
The site hashes the password and shows the result after your name, like <code>Anonymous !Ep8pui8Vw2</code>. Anyone who knows the password can reproduce the trip; anyone who does not, cannot fake it. The password is not secret in the sense of being protected, it is just a shared secret you keep to yourself.<br />
<br />
== Regular vs secure ==<br />
* '''One <code>#</code>''' gives a standard tripcode. The algorithm is the same one used across most imageboard software, so the same <code>Name#password</code> produces the same trip on other sites too.<br />
* '''Two <code>##</code>''' gives a '''secure tripcode'''. This one is salted with something specific to 2swagg, so the same password gives a different result here than anywhere else. A secure trip cannot be reproduced on another site.<br />
<br />
== Culture note ==<br />
Using a name or a trip at all is optional and often looked down on. Regulars who always post with a trip get called "tripfags"; the default and expected mode is plain anonymous. Trips are mostly for cases where persistent identity actually matters, like a thread OP who wants to prove follow-up posts are really theirs.<br />
