There is no good reason to expose your authentication username part into a temporary network address that only the SIP registrar function needs to know about. This breaks privacy when it desired, and exposes the host to fraud or denial of service attacks. Secondly, in multi account environment like Blink, each account needs a different and unique Contact Address so that when a session request comes in, Blink knows which account has been called. 

The way we do it in Blink is technically correct and is best practice to use random string in the username part of a Contact Address, read SIP protocol specification to understand why this is done like this in more detail.
