errors-snowflake

An identity for everyone, and everything.

Look upon the sky, as the snowflakes fall down, each snowflake so unqiue and rare. No snowflake has ever met their match, it's like each person, animal, insect or item, could have their own, and still, nobody would have a snowflake comparable to another.

Note: Snowflake can generate at maximum 262 143 flakes (or IDs) per second.
