I really dont see the benefit of these. its just guids with extra steps. its not any easier to read than guids.

its an alphanumeric random string in both systems.

yes theres is kinda symetrical. but im not going to find it easier to communicate/remember say:

38QARV0-1ET0G6Z-2CJD9VA-2ZZAR0X

any easier than i am

d1756360-5da0-40df-9926-a76abff5601d

both are long random strings. both are awkward to have to read over say a phone call.

what am I missing here?
