Idea for better trade, before my leave.

Quitting PoE (maybe for a week, maybe for this league, maybe forever). I don't know too frustrated at this game. So, I will leave you guys with an idea and maybe someone tries to implement it.

We went from dropping items in the forum and buying through there. To tagging our items "~ Price # chaos". That text box has 41 characters total.

"

Possible permutations for 41-character text box:
94^41 ≈ 2.19 x 10^82

So, there are approximately 2.19 x 10^82 unique permutations possible for your text box with 41 characters that includes numbers, upper case letters, lower case letters, and symbols.

We have around 1262 unique items. I don't know how many other items we have (maps, currency, fragments), but I'm going to go out on a limb and say all items are less than 10,000. That includes future items. That's a five-figure number.

41 - 5 = 36 characters.

"

Possible permutations for 41-character text box:
94^36 ≈ 3.0758453e+73

Trading books rely heavily on time. The Unix timestamp has 10 characters, so let's subtract those 10 characters and create a timestamp of the trade.

36-10 = 26 characters.

"

Possible permutations for 26-character text box:
94^26 ≈ 8.62 x 10^50

We still have too many characters left. It would be useful to add more information into the system. So let's subtract an additional 10 characters.

"

26-10 = 16 characters.
Possible permutations for 16-character text box:
94 ^ 16

Gotta admit, I'm running out of ideas on what more information to add next.

Anyways, I think you guys get the point.

We can have a better trade experience if we change "~Price # chaos" for a unique identifier of 41 characters.

Why would we do this? We must. For transparency in the marketplace. For decentralization of what "X" is worth. Let the market decide, for real this time.

Sigh. I'm out. See you guys later.

Whatever mushrooms you're on, I want some !

Someone's trying to be a bit too smart.

I didn't even know I had to type anything anywhere in order to trade and my trading works just fine.
