I realize that was sarcasm.

But for the non-hash-aware among us, it would take on average 2,147,483,647 as long to brute force the last 8 with the same computing power and 4,294,967,295 as long to hash every combination of the last 8. This all assumes no vulnerabilities in the algorithm, of course.

It's base32, not base16, so you're off by several orders of magnitude - numbers should be 549,755,813,888 and 1,099,511,627,776.

I believe you are correct. I appreciate the correction.
