Not quite. The UIDs that were given out for RSA-129 had nothing to do with the search space. The reason is that RSA-129 did not search for the prime factors; it searched for quadratic residue relations. Moreover, ANY relations within the space is a valid datapoint. As a result, the UIDs ojnly told the factoring clients where to start looking for relations.
Thanks, I stand corrected. As I said, I really don't understand at a basic level how it works. These factoring projects are, to me, an interesting sociological experiment. Of course, to do this correctly, you need software that is easy to use. :-) So, the ability to run a program in such a fashion that as much is automated as possible is a "Good Thing{tm}". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: PGP Signed with PineSign 1.0 iQCVAwUBMArjMjokqlyVGmCFAQHrdgP+NzpimLDgMY0/HMk8CVu4iaqmCdljxLLv +G6k3CkkiCvowLTEHv45NUaixWl38VgeMnp2vxOPVFcb5lEdHLd2DqXL4vj7sjg1 rWAIX4/Q+/KL98ATCw9+ePs+CFSM3HAkRWT6sNmmAJyHj6y13Yk3Fa9qY5Gt5kO3 8wqSPO2aOYE= =1ZOw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____ Robert A.
