No even that. Once you forget the salt the stored-so-far addresses
become useless for you, too. So instead of storing current salt
plus hashed addresses you can just as well store plain addresses
for the day (modulo cost of the hash function).

Indeed. You can preload some random addresses into the hash set
just as well as into the bloom filter, to 'poison' the cache.
