I thought we already embedded the source code into bts client.. Not?

I wanted to -- and even started working on it at one point -- but we ended up not doing this.

so which one will do it now?

So everything was hitting this guys website?  That list of delegates with robohashes.... generated off this website?
It seems to be true, by now.

Yes, but it's a free service using CDNs to cache the robots so there's no issue with that imo. Maybe at a scale of hundreds of thousands of users we would put too much strain on them, but as it is I doubt they even noticed.

If it changes frequently, then what's the meaning of having this? It will be very confusing, especially for all the established recipients, like some exchanges' accounts.
Established participants with something to lose out of being impersonated hould spare 5mn to personalize their avatar.

Decentralise the creation of images of robots ftw, it will revolutionise society.  Secure life, liberty, and robot pictures.

Its open source it doesnt have to be 3rd party we can implement a local web service which will do the same thing and then we control wether it changes or not.

Robohashes are controlled by a 3rd party website.
They may update it whenever they want and they do not need to notify anyone.

EDIT: Furthermore robohashes are extremely unreliable way of verification and IMHO it shouldn't be used. It might even allow for easier scams.
