| Will we run out of phone numbers? | |
| Yes we will, by some time this will definitely happen but we have just enough time to fix the issue. | |
| Here are my alternatives: | |
| ID's like 123456789-+@ | |
| Pros: | |
| Almost infinite | |
| Easy to read | |
| Cons: | |
| Easy impersonation(with symbols like I(uppercase I)and |(dash up) | |
| Can be tricky to remember | |
| Usernames like @wateraddict4 | |
| Pros: | |
| Easy to read | |
| Mediocre hard to impersonate | |
| If allowing up to 20 symbols almost impossible to run out | |
| Cons: | |
| Can be tricky to remember if long | |
| Hard/Impossible to type on old phones with rotary | |
| Crypto wallet addresses like | |
| UQB-r4a-X3g-gon3LaIwbhfOHCZSxZYsx6RhCCwVT0AH87no | |
| (@random(on telegram) devs crypto address) | |
| Pros: | |
| Infinite! | |
| Cons: | |
| Impossible to remember | |
| Impossible to type | |
| Impossible to read | |
| QR codes, barcodes and similar | |
| Pros: | |
| Infinite! | |
| Cons: | |
| Non typable | |
| Non remberable | |
| So in total I think that we will never run out of phone numbers not because we will run out but because they will be too outdated in future technology. | |
| Thanks for your time spent reading. |
