Create single decoding 'password' (serialized decoding values) #43

Closed shannonturner closed 10 years ago

shannonturner commented 10 years ago

Creating a single decoding password instead of relying on the decoder to know the

rgb seed
addition value position scrambling values
rgb ordering
offset

would sharply improve the decoding process. This should also be integrated into the API.

This could probably be most easily accomplished by serializing the decoding values.

After a soft-launch of this feature, it doesn't actually improve the problem it's meant to address, and in many respects actually makes things worse by significantly increasing the number of characters needed for the decoding 'password.'
