Re: Wiki signups
@counting_pine or other admins: I'd suggest to remove the username + MD5 information from being visible publically as soon as you create the account for security reasons. And I'd recommend every user to use a temporary password first and immediately change your password after your account has been created, also for security reasons. Just keep in mind that posting the MD5 of your password is nearly as bad as posting your password in plaintext.

Re: Wiki signups
I've redacted the MD5s in the above posts.
I've also clarified my opening post. But basically, common sense should prevail: you shouldn't publish the hash for a password you want to be secure.
To the best of my knowledge, MD5 hashes are not currently reversible - meaning it's not (currently) computationally feasible to find an input that produces any given MD5 hash.
But there are other known flaws in MD5, such as the ability to produce two files that hash to the same value - although you can't control what that value actually is.
