How to generate 8 bytes unique id from GUID?

Question

I try to use long as unique id within our C# application (not global, and only for one session) for our events. Do you know if the following will generate an unique long id?

Answer 1

enerates an 8-byte Ascii85 identifier based on the current timestamp in seconds. Guaranteed unique for each second. 85% chance of no collisions for 5 generated Ids within the same second.

private static readonly Random Random = new Random();
public static string GenerateIdentifier()
{
    var seconds = (int) DateTime.Now.Subtract(new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)).TotalSeconds;
    var timeBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(seconds);
    var randomBytes = new byte[2];
    Random.NextBytes(randomBytes);
    var bytes = new byte[timeBytes.Length + randomBytes.Length];
    System.Buffer.BlockCopy(timeBytes, 0, bytes, 0, timeBytes.Length);
    System.Buffer.BlockCopy(randomBytes, 0, bytes, timeBytes.Length, randomBytes.Length);
    return Ascii85.Encode(bytes);
}
