The number of inputs before a likely collision is more on the order of 2^80. Which is still pretty large.

- meowface 12y agoTrue, the birthday paradox definitely makes it a lot more likely, but as you say the odds should still be too low.
- thret 12y agoThis is comparable to the number of atoms in the universe. Pretty large! We will never see an accidental collision.
- zxcdw 12y agoNot quite, atoms in the universe is in the range of 10^80, which is a bit less than 2^266. On the other hand, 2^80 is "only" approx. 1.2 * 10^24. Still, good luck colliding with that without big effort.
