The only triple in the TorZon set

Of the twelve published strings this is the only one containing three of the same character in a row. It manages it twice, and both times the character is c.

Why a run of three changes how people read a string

Human memory does not hold 56 random characters. It holds landmarks. Give somebody a wall of base32 and ask them to check it against another wall of base32, and they will not compare character by character. They will find two or three shapes they can hold in their head and compare those. Runs of repeated characters are the strongest shape available, because a run is the one thing in a random string that looks deliberate.

That is what makes this particular address worth its own page. Read it slowly and you hit hrqccc in the middle, then a few characters later naiccc. Two triples of the same character in one string. Nothing in the format forbids it and nothing about it is meaningful, but it is the most memorable stretch of any address in this set.

The problem is that memorability cuts the wrong way. Somebody who has read this string once now remembers it as the one with the triple c. If a second string turns up carrying a triple c somewhere, it will feel familiar before it has been checked, and feeling familiar is exactly the reaction a forged address wants to produce. The landmark is real. What it identifies is not the address, only a property that anybody could reproduce on purpose in a few seconds of grinding.

The safer reading of the double triple is that it tells you nothing at all. It is a coincidence that happened to land in a string that had no say in the matter. Copy the whole thing and the coincidence stops mattering. Retype it from the memory of the triple and you have replaced a 56 character check with a three character one.

The three zones of this string

The head here is unusual only in that it opens with a digit and then runs seven letters. The middle is where both triples sit. The tail is the flattest part of the string and gives the eye nothing to hold.

Questions

Does a repeated character mean the address was generated badly?

No. A run of three in 56 characters drawn from 32 symbols is ordinary. Runs of two appear constantly. What would be surprising is a set of twelve strings with no runs at all, because that would suggest something was filtering them.

Two triples of the same character looks like a pattern. Is it?

It is a coincidence in one string. The other eleven addresses in this set have no triple at all, which is the better guide to what is normal here. One string doing something twice is not a pattern across a set of twelve.
