  • I see what you mean, so let me try to explain:
    You don’t have an ID for the account (like a username, random number or even public key) but instead an address for your chat with someone (this is the queue where your chatpartner sends their messages to). So every address is unique only per chat, no unique ID per account or so.

    If you still have questions about the SimpleX system, feel free to ask and I will give you useful links.




  • In any Base-x system, one digit goes up to x - 1 (with base > 10 we use alphabet letters), then the next digit (to the left) is incremented.
    So in our normal Base-10 system, you count up from 0 to 9 and then add a digit in the front and reset the other digits to get 10.

    This means, that in every Base-x system ‘10’ equals x.
    So you can make the “There 10 types of people …” with every base as ‘10’ in Base-2 means 2, 3 in Base-3 and so on.
