top | item 46520001 (no title) nlehuen | 1 month ago I came here to write that :-) discuss order hn newest nlehuen|1 month ago Actually there are π(N) ~ N / ln(N) primes less than N per the Prime Number Theorem, so π(2 ^ 160) ~ 2 ^ 153.2 - this only drops 7 bits. So that does increase the odds of collision but much less than what I expected! keepamovin|1 month ago Maths saved the day again!I added a section to the README and pages site noting your logic. cluckindan|1 month ago It’s ok, you can still assign a unique hash for more than half of the atoms in the universe.
