Hi, if i want to transfer a droplet to someone else the IP address will remain same? I’ve read in 2014 that wasn’t possible, now works?

Nope, the IP addresses will change if you transfer the droplet to somebody else.
Hello there,
Droplets are transferred between accounts via snapshots and the answer is no.
Snapshots don’t retain the IP address of the Droplet they were created from. We assign Droplet IP addresses automatically and they cannot be manually reassigned after creation, but you can assign a reserved IP address to a Droplet and then reassign the reserved IP address to other Droplets as needed.
Regards
