It has been some months since you wrote in this thread lucif, however I see your humanity in this particular thread very strongly.
Remember that the Chinese culture and the bitcoin culture are actually very compatible.
It is very Eastern philosophically to be one with your community. Mining IS oneness with bitcoin - maintaining the ledger of all transactions. Everything done on the blockchain is seen by everyone.
It really should not be surprising that Avalon embrace the culture of bitcoin and overcome the things you consider to be roadblocks on the basis of this community unity. Perhaps, lucif, this is an opportunity to examine your own Western individual-oriented philosophies in light of a Eastern oriented Avalon.
I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts. Don't stop being who you are.

I recall most part of my congratulations.
Looks like they just bunch of 23 yr old chinese honored nerds with huge self overestimation and lack of any kind of responsibility. Watch your step walking with them!
I hope competitors will kill their sloven business.

Ya. Thanks. English not my natural language.
No worries. Sceptics is UK English and Skeptics is US English.

Are sceptics (Septic tanks?) the same as Skeptics?
I congratulate AVALON with passing through all skeptics, trollings, temptations and borders described and missed here.
I really surprised that unknown group of nerds was able to bring somthing really new and amazing to the world. This really surprised me. Hat off.
However that was a kickstart and situation still evolves.
In a name of science: QUESTION EVERYTHING.

If your computer is made of matter, and it occupies space, even if it is perfectly, ideally, efficient there is not enough energy in our sun to power it long enough for it to COUNT to 2^256, let alone compute the bitcoin address and check the balance. If such a matterless, spaceless device exists, you have a point. If not, you are wrong.
Oh, and look up who got rich in the various gold rushes... it wasn't the miners, it was the shovel makes and the blue jean companies. The money in ASIC is in selling them, not mining with them.

I am a part of that power which eternally desires evil and eternally does good.
Oh! And the most interesting thing. For upgrading BFL customers - you must either send your fpga device back, or make a security payment to BFL, BEFORE ASIC shipped away.
And this is while BFL has no terms, no rules and policies on their website.
What a scamer paradise this community....

Okay. End of January so far.
Let me summarize what do we have.
- No change in network hashrate
- Only 1 pic of some weird chips. No more evidences.
- 1 week ago Avalon started "shipments". And nobody received tracking info so far.
- BFL put a plan of crisis escape on their site. They draw very strong activity, but also without any evidences
- Also BFL Josh used to be an idiot tolling trolls instead of working.
-,BFL Josh runs out of money, crying about $4k withdrawal delay from gox, having $25M customers money
- basics died eventually. They looks like most honest guys from others. They just honestly said "game over", while others continue to play drama.

Okay, okay with wpa and others. You missing main question marked with bold text.
Most people suck. Its a very true point. And this is a problem.
Really? WPA2 dictionary rainbow table is being built using modern miner hardware fairly quickly.
What would be if China invents ASIC for single-pass SHA?
But I said, fuck this government. Lets say it isnt true.
Should I sell this technology? - is the main question.

WPA2 being attackable does not mean its algorithms (AES, PBKDF2-SHA1, etc) have been cracked; it just means that people suck at selecting strong passwords. Use a password like LQ/Y89}Us@{@V>hU&dyL (which has ~128 bits of entropy) and not even an ASIC a million times faster than a CPU can break your WPA2.
Nota Bene: There is no such thing as "WPA2 dictionary rainbow tables", the right terminology is "lookup table". A "rainbow table" refers specifically to tables using a time memory trade-off, and using a different function (different "color") on each column. For some reason amateur hackers like the term "rainbow table" and use it everywhere.
You are very wrong. This quote shows you know little about cryptography. Cryptographic algorithms (encryption or hashing) have been designed to resist attacks multiple order of magnitudes higher than what we are capable of today (CPUs, FPGAs, even ASICs).

This technology may compromise the whole world SHA2-based Internet security. Whatever... It may compromise any algorithm security. AFAIK crypto-algos were developed to be resisant to CPU-powered computer systems.

This technology may speed up in 1000+ times brute force.
a hundred thousand years divided by 1000+ is still... a whole lot of time.
I ask real questions. And dunno get answers.
Only moderator calls to put me into Ignore list.
Did he involved in this all? I screenshoted everything. Lots of pre-paid fools involved - okay. Bitpay involved - Okay. BUT RESPECTABLE MODERATOR shut my mouth?
Okay, lets see...

Is Satoshi in on this?
So this technology may bring these digits (according to Avalon ASIC)
If I dont mistake (remind me if i do), $0.01875/Mhash/s - not taking into account its power consumtion.
So it may shift actual GPU digits by two or even three digits, cosuming even lower power.
This is all regarding ONLY federal forces interest.
But lets return to earth. Why should I sell this technology?
Dear gmaxwell. If I was right and all of companies around here are scam, I will post your quote asking to Ignore me first. Be sure.
