2. Are all addresses created unique? For sure?

Yes.

I believe the chances of creating an address that someone else has are something like being hit by lightning while taking a crap EVERY year for 17 years... Yes, someone did the maths on this Tongue

"Finding a collision is about as likely as being struck by lightning while taking a crap every year for 17 years in a row".

while 0.00001% chance exist, this means that percent can be released at any time, even in some seconds and not in some million years.

And how about when 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007% chance exists?

Please let me know when you have been "struck by lightning while taking a crap every year for 17 years in a row".
