IMHO
ranges should go from blah...blah...00000000 to blah...blah...FFFFFFFF
just to keep things neat and tidy. maybe i am OCD.
why are all these bizarre ranges being scanned?
like 2b87eefd01e43a40 - 2b87f0798ea43a40
it makes no sense to me.
is something being converted from decimal?
that makes even less sense.
i just don't get it. enlighten me.
Yeah so that range is within the 62-bit range, what is the problem?
i am just saying that, for me, for reasons of accounting and clarity, in my messed up mind (and probably in the perfectly good minds of others), i prefer a block to start on a 00 and end on FF.
for example:
A600000000 - A6FFFFFFFF
3B92C70000000000 - 3B92C7FFFFFFFFFF
0000 - FFFF
like that. it makes sense to me and is easy to understand.
what i do not understand, is how people come up with these ranges with some arbitrary collection of least significant bytes.
(no example given)
and i wonder where these come from. are hands mashed down on a hex keyboard? is it somebody's birthday? their name in ascii? is it just random? is it some nice round decimal number that converts to god-awful looking hex. Why is decimal even mentioned in this forum?
just wondering why. not saying it is right or wrong. it just does not align with my thought process.
