I wish services didn't store IPs at all.

If abuse is an issue, why not hash the IP with a nonce?

For ipv4 is there a difference between storing IPs and storing their hash with a nonce? You can calculate the hash of every IP address in reasonable time, so it's reversible.

Only benefit I can think of is you can forget the nonce and now the data is securely useless, if the nonce was secure, but that doesn't seem that useful really.
