  1. Yeah I was lazy with saying ipv32. I didnt want to say ipv6, since I kinda think it needs to at least be 64bits, and really for a public-private key pair should be larger, so more like 512 to avoid anything like the v4 v6 cacatestrophe again in 20 years with post quantum forms of assymetric key challenges. But I didnt feel like writing all that out.
  2. I’m with you. I knew I’d get people not reading and say “that’s the ip address”, but MAC address? 🤦‍♂️
