[Question] Comparison with UUID

[egeozcan]

Do you have a comparison with UUID on likelihood of collisions? For example, I've read on Wikipedia that for UUIDs that is "50% probability of at least one collision when generating 1 billion UUIDs per second for about 85 years". Does nanoid have such claims?

@egeozcan nanoid is like UUID v4, just use a-zA-Z0-9~_ instead of 0-9a-f alphabet.

So nanoid will have same “50% probability of at least one collision when generating 1 billion UUIDs per second for about 85 years”.

If you want to reduce collision probability (1 billion IDs per second is a huge), you can just increase ID length.
