The ID is extracted from the first few bytes of the first public address in your wallet. That value is then encoded in base58, so it may not necessarily be 9 characters long.
ID collisions is a possibility but rather abysmal. The chance of actual wallet collision is the same as 256 bits integer collision, i.e. not gonna happen.
Topic: Armory number of possible wallets (Read 595 times)
My wallet ID is 9 digits long. Numbers and letters
Does this mean that there are only 62^9 possible wallets?
(That would be about 10^16)
That is within the power of computers to crack.
Or is it possible for different wallets to have a "collision" and just have the same wallet ID?
