I'm not concerned with collision probabilities per-se. I'm concerned with using collision probabilities as some proxy argument for what you actually want in this case. A "fake ID" is supposed to be "an ID I currently don't have in my database, or in the set of fake IDs I've currently chosen during this run". Why hash strings and wonder about probability when you can just check your database?
Well, as I said, it's a matter of not having the database at some of the points where these things are required. work.cc:get_work_rev on net.venge.monotone.api, for instance. zw
