I was thinking, maybe we should have a wiki page like the turtle id reserve page where people can reserve rednet ids so there hopefully won't be conflicts? Just a thought.

I reserve id 1337</joke>

Even if you reserve your frequency you should still be filtering your messages in some way. For example, all of my programs uses a 3-letter prefix in all caps for all rednet, so this change doesn't really affect me.

You could override the peripheral API to manage the different frequencies if it detects the peripheral to be a modem.

send
prime factor encrypted messages. theyre REALLY hard to crack and really fast to decode

Hmm. Never thought of that. We could use handshake security.

Erm, no. 65535 is a big enough number to not cause many frequency conflicts.

How hard is it to actually add light encryption to your rednet messages?

you would need to code it, wich most people are lazy about

I wrote a little encryption algorithm once using XOR in javascript. Probably wouldn't be very hard to port it to lua.

thats not what we are talking about >_>
i already have a symmetric algorithm
