do you remember when the rsa used to post the bounties for primes ??
then they just stopped, i often wondered if they came up with a much more advanced way of factoring and deriving primes that they never bothered to share with anyone else, probably far fetched but they did pay those bounties and some were for big money ,
yes, many of us still have this question... did they lost interest, or did they find a secret algorithm? probably they just knew the records would be broken soon and decided to use the money for other things...
