I totally agree.  As a coder myself - I write business applications - boring  .  I would be totally stoked to write a bit of code that is threatening to break a world record within a month of its initial release.  @j0nn9 - Much respect man.  I love seeing new algos and chasing the rush of the next coin, but this one really captures the imagination.  I'll be mining it at least until we hit the elusive world record.  At this point I don't even care about the price - its more about the chase for the top spot on the prime gap list.
