Icechip

A snowflake library that actually does what it is supposed to.

Adheres to the twitter specification, but also has an improved mode.

Twitter Specification

u64 or i64
bits 0-40	bits 41-51	bits 52-62	63
time since an epoch in ms	machine id	sequence number	sign

Utilizes a 64 bit unsigned integer, moves the now spare sign bit and one sequence bit to the machine ID.

u64
0-40	41-53	54-63
time since an epoch in ms	machine id	sequence number

Utilizes a 128 bit unsigned integer. 32bit machine id, 32bit sequence number. (Ought to be enough for anybody™)

u128
0-63	64-95	96-127
full unix timestamp ms	machine id	sequence number
