ProtoFlux:Random GUID

Random GUID

GUIDs

The Random GUID node returns the GUID string represented as a GUID Type. It is astronomically low to get a duplicate GUID (many thousands of years worth of time).

It may be tempting to use this node, but there is currently no support for using it in the Data Model, as seen in Issue #1294.

Frooxius even mentions that they would favor Int128 and Uint128 over GUIDs due to abuse with them.

Outputs
