Poll: new poll: Guess the month in 2001 that RC5 will be solved

[raxafarian]

no prizes... just wanted to see what everyone thinks. My guess is Apr 13, 2000

i have no idea. if i figured out how much of the keyspace is done and how fast the rest of it would be processed, i could tell you the expected value, down to the second.

Elfenix -
What if my proxy just loaded the winning key? - wouldn't that muck up the estimate by just a little?

 

[Orange Kid]

I'll place it in June of 2002.
A rough estimate at yesterdays pace and completion near 75% of keyspace checked.

I'll take a stab at never, because the coveted solution key was actually lost in a corrupted data packet, and the entire project will have to be restarted to find it, but no one will want to that so the project will get dumped in favor of the next one!

ROFLMAO!!!

PS: But hey! At least you'll have had the enjoyment of stats!
