How should someone unfamiliar with Oh By realize that the string "0x7DBZ3G" is
a thing they can look up? Is your plan to get sufficient popularity that
people will recognize them like they recognize URLs?

IIRC, the "Visit us on the World Wide Web at aitch tee tee pee colon slash
slash" days lasted quite a while. (Not to mention the "colon backslash
backslash" days.) I don't think I can just write "0x7DBZ3G" today (but maybe
in a few years!); I'd have to write some reference to
[http://0x.co/](http://0x.co/).

"Is your plan to get sufficient popularity that people will recognize them

Yes, that is indeed the plan, and yes, that will be a challenge.

Don't think of this as a url shortener, my use case would be something like
pastebin or gist but with free private anonymous pastes. It also took me all
of 2 minutes to get a python implementation working with the API. One
suggestion, when I look up the codes if I include the 0x eg. "0xDV2HW7" or "0
x DV2HW7" it fails to lookup the code - it wasn't immediately obvious to me to
discard the 0x on lookup.

Hmmm.... we have it coded to accept _either_ :

or:

0x?

EDIT: OH, ACTUALLY - are you looking up "0 x EXAMPLE", with the spaces in
there? No, that won't work - we just have the spaces in
