+As of today,
+[RIPE has less than 1 million IPv4 addresses available](https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-available-pool).

+
+So the question is, how long until RIPE does not have any IPv4
+addresses anymore? Or more specifically,
+**which is the exact date on which RIPE will have run out of IPv4
+addresses**?
+
+We are very curious and wonder who can best predict the exact date.
+And because it's a lot of fun to guess the right time, we will give
+out an **IPv6 only VM for free** to the person that guesses the exact
+date.
