No, just some basic programming skills (write some sort of a script). First, you'd have to create an int array with all the elements of the IP address. Then, you could do something like
Result = Array[0] * 13 +
Array[1] * 14 +
Array[2] * 15 +
Array[3] * 16 ........... ;or something similar. This will create different results for different IPs, however same IPs could produce the same result. I just think that abusing IPs is a bad option. I bet governments would love it if IP addresses of all participants on all chat rooms/discussion forums would be displayed.
