An alternative solution to the MD5 problem – take 8 hex digits from the MD5 output and convert hex to decimal. Take the lowest 4 significant digits… Presto!

Beware people gaming the system. Imagine an unscrupulous CTO who hears about your plan. He could get a friend to broker the sale and then put it on hold for as long as he likes. If he does it for long enough, he could barter himself an almost 50% discount!

Each new investment they took on would have diluted your stock, so I’d probably have 10% or less of what you originally had, maybe not not even FU money after taxes and such. Plus, once it does go public, you won’t be able to sell that stock for a while, and you may be required to keep a certain amount of stock in Uber to “show your commitment”.

Just count yourself lucky you don’t have those problems. 😉

Here’s a trick to handle your zero-digit MD5 problem. Add a 4 digit number suffix to the end of every generated MD5 hash, so even if there are zero digits in the MD5, you will still have a 4 digit number that is used as the unlock code.

e.g.

hash = “” + “1234”
digits = regex_digit_extraction(hash)

In the worst case, your keycode will be ‘1234’. This is unlikely, but at least the code won’t crash on you!
