Chuckle. He would better spend his time analyzing if "money out of nothing" = something.... and what its effects on the resultant so-called "market" is.
I disagree, its actually useful, in a particularly odd way. The profitability of hedge funds says that the markets are not efficient (one of their founding principles). So the inability of a massive multiprocessing system to build proper market efficiency indicates that no one currently has a solution to prove P=NP. There is also far more money in economic research than in algorithmic research, so anyone who manages to bring the market to being efficient will in fact have proven P=NP long before the algorithm is known. From a security standpoint this is extremely valuable information. Maybe Maymin should apply the same processes and become a hedge fund manager, they make a lot more money than mere engineers. Joe
