IPG, why don't you sit down and draw up the terms of a challenge? Specify: * what information and/or materials IPG will release * to whom it will release them and when * who is or isn't elligible * what you will and won't accept as "breaking your system" * the arbitrating body * a starting time and a deadline * the award You'd do well to be _very_ thorough in these terms, since any perception that IPG was trying to throw the game would draw that much more fire. You'd also do well to make terms terms conform to real-world circumstances: for example, if someone hacking the office machines on which which you generate, store, and/or disseminate RNs is a practical threat to your product, then admit that as an acceptable part of a "break."
