I think it would be interesting if someone came up with a visual hashing algorithm, where small changes in the inputs had uniformly random visual outputs. I was testing jdenticon with my node id: 03f3c108ccd536b8526841f0a5c58212bb9e6584a1eb493080e7c1cc34f82dad71 I was surprised to see that small changes to the first digit didn't change the visual output at all. Whether or not this is a useful property in this use case, it's something to keep in mind.
