I have broken this into two parts because GG loves the quoting thing. Here's the skinny on that. OC Cash does have the encode/unencode switch these days. Chop wasn't aware of it, which is pretty much due to past threads. At that point, OC was one of the NATS programs not allowing unencoding of links. I'm not bashing OC here, just stating a fact with no opinion on the matter what so ever. I assume Jay didn't catch what Chop was getting at about the NATS issue and that may be why part of this argument has been left unanswered.

The initial versions of NATS did not allow for the unencoding of links to my knowledge.

Anyone that is running the NATS V2 or better has them in there (including OCCash...so you can add that to Chop's list - LOL).

The only point I would like to make about the unencryted codes is that they are much more likely the fail (or get jacked) than the encrypted ones. A LOT of computers have Spyware / Scumware that looks for strings in linkcode like ref=xxxjay and can change them to ref=spyware'scode. With the encrypted (while not foolproof) will experience less of these problems.
