Has anyone thought about starting up a distributed rc4 cracking web. Send in your message to a web server form, it will then spawn of requests to a pool of machines willing to try cracking rc4 for you. Allow anyone to offer up spare cycles towards the effort.
I suggested that very thing just yesterday in the list, but my message seems to have gone awry. In short, I suggested we use E-Cash payments for cracking efforts. This would establish a reward for participating and an 'exchange rate' for e-cash at the same time.
I'd we willing to set up a "crackweb" mailing list, or perhaps a site to register your machine(s) with % available and MIPS ratings. DJK
