     @cthos I'm vehemently opposed on principle to betting so I wouldn't actually do this (and point of evaluating result is too far out to be meaningful), but from a risk assessment standpoint I'd deem it acceptable to put tens of thousands of dollars on "nobody factors a properly generated 4096-bit rsa key by any means within this century". The whole program is utter bullshit.
