Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I'm not dismissing his work, it just seems very convoluted so it's understandably hard to follow. But still some script kiddie copy pastes such a project, runs make, and than brags about him asking for cryptography programmers to join his Kangaroo2 project, lol.
When a project like Kangaroo is developed, it's crucial to recognize that the initial version is just a starting point.
When creating a CUDA kernel from scratch, one quickly realizes that there are numerous aspects to optimize.
No single person can foresee all potential improvements or solutions. When developers work together, knowledge exchange happens organically.
A project that relies on a single developer is fragile; it risks stagnation or abandonment if that individual becomes unavailable. By coming together and pooling our knowledge and resources, we can transform a good project into a great one, and a great project into a groundbreaking one.
This particular project, aimed at brute-force cryptography, raises significant ethical concerns.
The question here is, who has the balls to stand behind a project like this and build it into a groundbreaking one?
