If you are going to use an immemorable hash instead of a memorable name, why not use IP directly?

- tasuki 5y agoThere could be several immemorable hashes pointed at the same IP, the server needs to know which immemorable hash it should serve. (don't think this makes much sense, just answering your question...)
- quickthrower2 5y agoIPv6 may work for that. But the idea is to have a decentralised allocation so the hashes from your own generate PKs is better.
- ahtihn 5y agoBecause you don't necessarily own your IP, usually it's owned by your hosting provider.
