I'm off to work, but if this still hasn't been done by the time I get home I'll edit this post with a public key generated in this fashion.

Why would you sell a program for pennies while it can get you rich?

I'm not sure it's as simple as that.

Evil gave a number (an example?) of 768 rendezvous points on the curve, and said that a weak key will be within a certain distance of these points. We don't know how far from a rendezvous point is considered "easy".

I don't pretend to have much knowledge of elliptical curves, but it seems to me that that distance is what determines how useful this actually is. After all the number of in-use addresses is a microscopic part of the namespace.

I'm interested though And it has at least inspired me to start reading new stuff if nothing else!

EDIT: Yep, sorry Evil - it's 04cb45afa783855907367124413c97e2dc6180a4deddd63a040eec77edc09c87991de58ef830fa0 3515525eea05c8dbf7a1b31ad053819134ea7c9cd7274750250

Oh there seems to be a bit of confusion there.
Hey, are you willing to test an address for me?

Im totally buying this, all your bitcoins are mine...

Update:

The OP has replied to my PM asking me to verify the details again. I have replied with the details I posted above:

i.e.

Yep, knew someone was going to shout that.

OK, simple solution.

Somebody ELSE come up with one.

FWIW: I don't know Evil AT ALL. However, I believe I am one of the first people to have contacted him regarding buying this. I'm from Ireland, he's from Germany . We have never had contact before except on this board. Please have a look at our seperate profiles, and see if you can spot any crossover? We're not the same person, and we have never "met" (if you can apply that term to a bloody internet bulleting board) before this thread.

@Evil - I did my best to preserve the integrity of this, but it's gone pearshaped. Please take an example from someone else - ignore mine and don't waste any hashes on it.

Rit.

PS: Incidentally, it seems that no matter how transparent anyone attempts to be on these boards, suspicion will be levelled. It's fucking stupid, excuse my Klatchian.

And after this test is successful, I'll accept an apology from the internet's least-successful pseudo-detective, our pal and your pal, tsoPANos.

AKA, "The Idiot".

Rit.

I don't typically call myself "Mr. Smart" - only a few friends of mine, and my GF (when we're RPing VERY specific things) do that. EDIT: For the hard-of-thinking, this was an ironic statement.

But you know what? The nice thing about a forum like this is that activity is public, for the most part. You only had to click on my profile to see my posts, activity, and time logged in. Same with Evil. Please, by all means, point out anything that might point to us being the same person. By extension to your logic, I feel like you are single-handedly every poster on the Greek board, simply because I cannot read Greek. You look like you're all sharing symbols. This must be just one person, right?!

Nah, for now I'll stick with "The Idiot".
