Don’t get scared of the technicality of this post, or of the complexity that the cited article uses. I will explain it for my less technical readers. The idea is that instead of identifying blog posts with a username, or an email address, the program automatically generates an image for you. Look at the comments here to see how works.
I’ve just added preliminary 9-block IP identification feature to Daily, my blog server to enhance commenter identity beyond name and website. Basically, what I am doing is using a privacy protecting derivative of each commenter’s IP address to build a 9-block image and displaying it next the commenter’s name.

This relates to my two biggest current interests: User Interface (UI) and Web Identity, which I will be posting on more extensively in the future.
