They posted the FBI intel report as well which pretty much says that the Bitcoin is strong and scary because they don't know exactly how to trace it and when you was the coins it becomes almost impossible. There are rumors that the NSA has a computer that is capable of cracking PGP but it's just a rumor and I honestly doubt they would waste it on us. That rumour has been going around for a long time and it really doesn't help anyone. There are a number of reasons to suggest that they can't achieve a brute force cracking (there are other methods, like side channel attacks) or have yet found any flaws in either RSA and Elgamal.For more information read this (clearnet) link:http://sixdemonbag.org/cryptofaq.xhtml#agenciesPay special attention to the bit on thermodynamics.Quote from: Delta11 on August 27, 2012, 09:00 amThe best thing noobies to SR can do is just read, read, and read some more. That's what I did when I joined a year ago, I went through almost every thread! Granted it was mumbo jumbo at first but through trial and error you get the hang of it ;)Yep, I agree completely.
