So what is going on here?

I am generated new guids and seeing how much of the new guid matches the existing guid.

What are the chances?

Technical

All guids are being generated by a c# console application

After 100 million guids have been created and checked against the main guid, it sends the data of matched guids to a c# API and stored in the database

This website retrieves that data

Moving Goalposts

A way for me to keep track of what's changed during the creation of the project.

I love me some scope creep

• Must be resilient to the console application dying and restarting. Needs a database.
• Site must automatically refresh with new values.
• Site must have a live counter of the guids been generated. More for show, not too concerned on the accuracy
• Countdown time to next refresh
• Use websockets

No time for CSS when you're smashing guids
