One solution is to join the consortium and be able to vote against such a

From a practical standpoint, I think it is more likely that the base will

After all, digits have been constant for a long time, but the base has

What do hackers with non

They use 0-9, A-F, and a-f.
Hex is used mostly by programmers, mostly for computing, and mostly in

that's what compilers expect to see. Hex doesn't
