You post a strawman IPv6 address to HN every month or so. Why not take a minute to learn what a real address looks like?
For example, 2eff:ff:a0ee::/54 is a prefix and 2eff:ff:a0ee::dead:beef is an address within that prefix. It is invalid for "::" to appear more than once, as that would be ambiguous.

They're all wondering why IPv6 adoption is so slow, I'm telling them right here plain and simple.
