An Identicon is a visual representation of a hash value, usually of an IP address, that serves to identify a user of a computer system as a form of avatar while protecting the users’ privacy. The original Identicon was a 9-block graphic, and the representation has been extended to other graphic forms by third parties.

I created this small services as a proof of concept for work, where we use users calenders and attendees to improve meetings with our awesome machine learning. With identicons we could create a unique profile picture for all users (even the ones that doesn’t use our app) and let users change it when they log in the first time.
