Okay, I'll try harder:

No, you are not trying harder.

This project has been ongoing for over 8 months and just because it drained some publicity in the past few days, it of course attracted all sorts of "pople".

People like you, trying to make a ~~point~~ appearance. Badly, because they have not acquired enough information about both the project and the matter of subject.

Example 1:

Your 1st post was - while admittedly written in an entertaining way - neither revealing and actually a non-issue. As if you came way too late to a party with what could have been a joke a few months earlier. Yes, we wanted a GPU client. Badly. Urgently. Look it up in this thread (about the time of September 2016 +/-1 month). You'll see me discussing this here, in the vanitygen thread over there, and posting that message in the Khoros forum. Everywhere for f*ing sake under the same forum name. So yeah Sherlock: you "found" it.

We even offered 1 BTC - at some point even 1.5BTC - for the vanitygen modifications and man am I glad no one could or want to do it back then. We were even so desperate, that here, one of the participants tried with OpenCL-Go IIRC and failed. So I had to do it myself. While I had "no idea" (my specific classification) about OpenCL in September 2016, I had pretty much of an idea by March 2017. So yes, it took longer, but we have a fresh, clean and scalable codebase. Actually for our task better than anything else "out there".

Example 2:

If (My guess) you were referring to the name/identity of the Admin-C for cryptoguru.org - you're slightly off and as mentioned, this idea came up (I think in the german forum) some months ago. If you actually took the time to read one of the interviews with me (at bitcoinblog.de - and I guess there is an english translation for the language-barrier-imparied), you'd know by now that I merely rented the domain and some infrastructure. Good try. Next try.

Example 3:

Your exercises about the "impossibility of this project" are again like something brought way too late to the party. In fact, with your lengthy text you are merely parroting a certain canon, which simply is not based on mathematical facts.

It's impossible to find the private keys of existing bitcoin wallets unless they're brain wallets, so this project is a false claim.

The germans have a nice reply to this "Beweis durch Behauptung?" something like "Proof by claim?"

My guess is you just copied the text somewhere and pasted it here. It contains all the stereotypes (and babbling of parrots in mass hypnosis) seen before. Many times. Long ago. I possibly cannot educate all people who have really trouble to distinguish between exponential and linear processes and who are doomed to intermangle them for the rest of their life. There are bright moments. On coinforum.de I actually could educate someone and actually HE then found out, that what the Collider is doing would - in a large-scale operation - require less transistors (= effort, energy, time) than mining.

The text you posted is a premier example of this. Quoted from "The idiot's guide to linear thinking":

Quote

Assume for argument's sake that they have a much more powerful supercomputer able to try 3,000 trillion keys per second,

Now contrary to that, imagine you got - for the argument's sake - every 2 years a supercomputer twice as fast as the previous one.
If you think hard, I bet you will see the difference. Please look up the historic charts for top500.org

Example 4:

Is it about the Large Bitcoin Collider, is it about me, or is it about YOU?

Could it be - let's entertain that thought just for a moment - that you were some failed writer who seeks publicity by having taken a role as devils advocate, myth buster, scam advisor or whatever in public projects? In order to grant you your 15 minutes of fame, I decided to invest 5 minutes in your writings history and 10 minutes into this writing of my own - so yeah - we're near the end.

From my 5 minutes analysis, I see you're busting here and there some scam/ICO or whatever project. You seem to do it with lot's of words (sometimes) and in general I think it's a good thing. Cannot say for sure, I do not visit threads of dubious projects.

In any case - should you feel the urge to entertain some "moon hoax" conspiracy theory in regard to the LBC, I think your efforts are way better spent over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1864651.0 I also promise I leave you guys most of the time alone as you try to educate yourselves.

That is, the totality of alive humans and aliens working non-stop together would earn the whole galaxy a combined expected grand total of $0.001 in revenues over the course of a 100-year period.

Cool story 'bro.
