actually, if you calculate how many ips there are in that list of ips that start from 73.74, (which are 255 per branch), and multiply 255 x 255, you get 65025.

For reference, the total number of valid IP addresses (using IPv4 only) are roughly 3,720,249,092.

yeah try calculating that. you'll get the numbers from my post so instead of treading old ground and calling me a troll, try refuting any of my points

Hey look at that, Alt. was exactly right. I did get one thing wrong Maxx, and I'm gonna apologize for that here. I honestly expected it to be a lot lower. Originally I assumed IP's were random, so it would've been 1 out of 10,000 to get a 4 number match. Actually it's 1.7%, so it's closer to a 1 out of 70 chance.

and if its 1/70 its entirely possible that someone rolled the dice and had a ip similar to mine

McZealot · July 05, 2016, 07:50:53 PM

Yea, but while both routers do randomize, they would have to randomize to both get the same 73.74 on the same day. I'm not really sure if that increases or decreases the chance because I've got no idea how to calculate it.

but it's EXTREMELY unlikely and there's nothing for me to strongly believe that you didn't do it

1.747866875712960677786373612 2037e-5 is an exponentially smaller percentage than 1.7

my ip has been 73.74.XX.XX for a while now, it doesn't change every day
that doesn't increase or decrease anything because someone could have rolled that ip while my ip was 73.74, and they got the same 4 numbers when they rolled the dice

ah that makes sense, but you still don't know that it was actually me doing this
and im going to say this again since the drama is just going to keep going, and everyone is just recycling stuff they said earlier because they dont have the exact ip that was on that banlist
i was mapping on the 17th, so i didn't have the time nor energy nor will to spam his cytube, i dont and wouldn't want to spam his cytube, and its not me
