Hashatar Paul Thaler-Williams 21 September 2025 Post #63 http://tela.network/forum/63/ https://hashatar.io/ Hashatar is an experimental project to represent information, such as bank numbers and crypto addresses, as small, easily comparable images for quick visual validation. A hashatar could be printed on an invoice, displayed in a banking app, or integrated into a crypto wallet to represent critical information. Like a hash, it doesn't reveal the underlying information, which could be sensitive, but it changes radically when small changes are made to the input. This shows mistakes in circumstances when data must be reproduced faithfully either by copy-pasting, or by entering data manually. The inspiration came from a recent attack on an NPM package, which substituted any crypto addresses it found for visually similar ones, attempting to trick users into sending crypto to the attacker's address. I see Hashatar as a new standard for sensitive data entry.
