Should addresses be checksummed or downcased when creating a blockie?

I also want to know this.

Also, why are issues disabled?

After experimenting a bit, I believe that they should be downcased. @alexvandesande Could you add me as a maintainer so I can improve the README?

Ran into this issue today when trying to implement Blockies in my dApp so that it matches the user's desired wallet connector. (MetaMask, Fortmatic, etc..)

I actually filed an issue w/ MetaMask inquiring why the downcasing is necessary, since not all wallets format the seed string: MetaMask/metamask-extension#9973

@briansoule can you explain your reasoning?

If I recall correctly, I experimented with different formats until it produced the expected behavior. @DannyDelott Can you confirm?
