@aral you encode secret keys with emojis? is that allowed‽‽‽

@aral Never really thought about encoding stuff in Emojis. What a fun idea :)Now I wanna do savegames, or user-generated content for games in emojis haha

@jalict Why not? :)The design decision behind it is so folks can’t write it down on a post-it or something and have to keep it in their password manager (or find out what a password manager is and get one, if they don’t already know).Also, fun :):kitten: 💕

@aral @blogdiva Encoding as emoji is funny, because the UTF8 ends up being 4x as many bytes as the original key, so 128 in this case, but because social media limits the number of characters and not the number of UTF8 bytes, it uses only 32 bytes of your character limit, less than hex or base64 would even though both of those would use less space in the database, in RAM, and on the wire.

@freakazoid @blogdiva Good point (no pun intended)… I hadn’t even considered that (I hope folks don’t share their secret keys via social media) 😬

@aral @blogdiva Hmm. If we assume bigint math is available, we could use 3184 of the emoji and encode your public key with only 22 emoji :D

@freakazoid @blogdiva Ooh… Base3184, how delightfully evil :)The only problem I see is byte count. I’m using only surrogate pairs. Afaik, there are less than 2,000 of those. So the codepoint size differences might be an issue.

@aral @blogdiva Hah, I'd missed that you said secret key. I seem to recall that was the original idea behind emoji-based codes, though they also look cool.I ran a script over https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/16.0/emoji-sequences.txt and only got 1185 that don't require 2 codepoints, so you're right. I did test with one codepoint sequence and confirmed it only uses a single character of my Mastodon character limit, so I may still publish an implementation just for fun.

@aral @blogdiva Damn, only 2321 in total even including those that require multiple code points. I don't even remember why I thought there were more than that.Base 921 encodes 256 bits in 26 emojis...

@freakazoid @blogdiva You remembered correctly: There are 3,790 in total in Unicode 16 (https://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-counts.html) but that’s with modifiers.

@aral @blogdiva My script must have had a bug, since looking at the counts in the data file it seems like there should have been a lot more than I was counting. I was creating the map for my encoder in the process, which left more room for bugs.Well, here's the base 921 version that only uses single codepoint emoji: https://git.sr.ht/~seanlynch/emoji921

@aral is this based on the emoji multibase or a different alphabet/algo? I've seen a few diff emoji bases over the years

@by_caballero Hadn’t heard of multibase (just looked it up, nice idea). This is just a basic map optimised for encoding/decoding ed25519 secret keys with a one-to-one mapping of bytes to emoji.https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/src/lib/KittenMoji.js

@aral Haha nice! The backstory is that I was trying to figure out which entries in the Multibase registry were realistic to bring to IANA if Multibase were to become an RFC governed by a WG, and I opted to leave emojibase out because there were multiple competing prior arts and the one registered in multibase seemed to conflict with more widely-used ones. It's a v low priority for me but I always mention it to people working on base-encodings just in case it's something they care more about :D

@aral I saw this and felt the need to write a rust crate for encoding/decoding KittenMoji: https://crates.io/crates/kittenmojiThat was a nice way to tune out all the stuff that is happening in the world right now. Also a nice way to get to know how to publish crates (with a crate that probably no one will use so it does not matter that much when I make mistakes :) )
