I think an easier approach is that once you have good IPv6 connectivity you could do something like a unique address per day per host. Every device could have 100M ip addresses and it wouldn't touch the IPv6 address space (10 billion humans * 100 devices = 0.000005% of the IPv6 address space).
Edit: My math is wrong. I thought IPv6 was 2^64, but it's actually 2^128, so that percentage is 10^20 times more miniscule.

- croon 6y agoIt would if hundreds of different users came through those IPs, wouldn't it?
- Fnoord 6y agoYou get a range from your ISP (e.g. a /64). Everything within that range would be tied to "you" (rather, your connection, but something like user agent would tell its your wife's iPhone or your MacBook Pro).
