RC5 coming to end???

[Jani]

Just rumour So don't uninstall your rc5 clients yet


<< Psst... I'll probably lose some karma for saying so here, but...


We are, in fact, preparing a statement on a couple of topics which is
intended for release via [ANNOUNCE] sometime in the next month or so.
No vicious rumors, please - there's no merger or acquisition
involved, but some fairly significant announcements nonetheless. I
can't tell you why the timing is important without revealing part of
the announcement, so I'm afraid that's all I can say.


Regarding SotN addresses, about the only thing we (DCTI staff) all
agree on is that we don't agree on whether we should do them or not.
Those most in favor of restarting the SotN are often those without
the information needed to put out such a publication.


Well, I guess it's about time for me to start kissing up to Nugget
for blowing the surprise, so I'll be going now.


Moo!

This was taken from Dnet mailing list. Hopefully RC5-64 will be over soon.

Or could it be they are just finally going to announce that they lost the winning key and the entire keyspace must be processed again.

No telling with Dnet.

 

[Migroo]

LOL thats a scary thought.

If it comes to an end, I have a friend that will be switching his fleet over to SETI@Home afterwards.

"If it comes to an end, I have a friend that will be switching his fleet over to SETI@Home afterwards."

WooHoo!

 

[jkersenbr]

If RC5 ends (or if it has to be redone), all my CPU's are going to ECCp-109. It's more fun that RC5 ever was.

 

[Poof]

Well there is still OGR!!!

 

[mechBgon]

Actually, I was thinking maybe they're ready to announce the proven 24-mark OGR.

I sure hope so.

 

[MereMortal]

The people that do OGR are long overdue a progress report.

 

[ViRGE]

Either the proven OGR-24 mark, or the end of RC5 would be a cause for celebration; both are great accomplishments for DC.:Q

<-- *heads to pick up some Dr. Pepper for the celebration party*

 

[sciencewhiz]

Did we ever hear anything?

 

[ViRGE]

Mabey Texas.net ending their Dnet agreement was the annoucement.:Q

 

[Wellcky]

Well if RC5 ends up being done away with, then I guess I'll end up a TA lurker.

 

[Wolfie]

It's not like we have heard this one before. I think this rumour pops up ever couple months or so. I won't hold my breath..

RC5 is going through the remaining keyspace at about 10% a month, so it had better be ending soon! The alternative is unthinkable.
