Description

This is a placeholder issue to ensure [this fun idea](https://twitter.com/gozala/status/1083066763661570048) suggested by @Gozala does not get lost:

[![Essentially what I want is identicon for each IPFS node based on it's ID more or less how roboticon does it but with a different visual representation](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/157609/51170982-ffb66e00-18af-11e9-8bf1-c1c2b15dd146.png)](https://twitter.com/gozala/status/1083066763661570048)

If such thing exists, we could display it on the status page to make it feel more personal and help to identify node at a glance:

ps. if someone decides to pick this up and create the "ipfs-identicon" library that generates unique SVG for PeerID (or CID/multihash), some cool resources are in the twitter thread.
