Ask HN: Does HN store IP addresses to identify use...
IP address is most definitely part of the voting ring algo. I'm almost positive about that much.

Is there a safer alternative such as using salted hashed ip addresses?

Certainly not before IPv6 is widely adopted.
IPv4 address space is so small, any hashing can reversed with brute force.

If you knew the hash being used you could just brute force them.
