It's very easy to impersonate another user right now by just using the same name. It would be great if the first 5 chars of a hashed IP fingerprint (or something similar) could be shown next to the name as a kind of ID to prevent that kinda thing from happening.

Yeah I'll probably add something like a unique number at the end of username.
