Message: [QUOTE="JSH, post: 3616736"] They just won't pay. The numbers are still up. Are you claiming that the other RSA challenge numbers have been factored? The Internet still uses public key encryption. If P=NP, then a polynomial time solution is possible for factoring meaning that public key encryption is no longer viable as a security system. It'd be the end of one way systems like it as well, meaning that people would have to trade keys by some other means, like, oh, snail mail. Yeah, it won't factor numbers that have 3 as a factor because it uses helper primes where the helper prime has to be less than the smallest factor, so ironically it will not factor 15. That's irrelevant to the issue of how well the technique might work against really large numbers where there are other bigger practical issues that I do not say have been solved. I'm not debating whether it is wrong or right. I'm merely stating facts. I don't have to check it. If it's right then someone in the world will eventually use it. So talk on the subject is irrelevant. That would be nice. It's such a silly world. Adults should be able to do as they please as long as they're not hurting themselves or others. I'm not doing surrogate factoring further. It's too dangerous. I'm not discussing the merits of my optimal path algorithm. Not really. My stated objective is to recruit for my Google Code project implementing my optimal path algorithm. You claim it doesn't work. Ok. Moving on. Also I'm just hanging out and chatting. Nothing has changed except you have clearly wasted your time if you truly believe there is nothing to my research. I, on the other hand, am continuing to popularize my research and can do things like check Google search results (can you for anything you do?) as well as look over site statistics for my various web sites. How do you think I got to the point where my blog gets hits from over 80 countries? And it's better here from my perspective as there are fewer cases where I have people just calling me names or just wildly ranting or replying with complete nonsense which is a major issue on other newsgroups where posters have gone to drastic tactics to try and control what they see as their newsgroups. The newsgroup sci.crypt was crippled by someone just bombing it with nonsense postings though I don't think that was my fault, but seemed to be about other web wars. Regardless, you do better NOT drawing interest with a lot of replies to my posts as at best you help generate more attention for my research where you can do the Google searches to see what that means, or at worst you can attract some of the nastier denizens of Usenet who might try to cripple your newsgroup--though hopefully that nonsense is at an end. The reality that I have nothing further to do but wait has not changed. And in the meantime I can hang out and chat, goof off, and just do whatever while the innovation pickup lag goes through its inevitable paces. James Harris [/QUOTE]
