Many people are curious about the 40GB Fin Fisher dump, which is mostly
   comprised of GPG encrypted files.
   Could be an interesting application of raw compute power.

     Hello Guys from metzdowd,
     I really like your mailing list and following it longer time now.
     Since I think the posts there are really of high quality and the
     people participating really know what they are talking about I would
     love to ask a specific question that could be really interesting for
     everyone there.
     I come from a company that is doing cryptocurrency mining in large
     scale and currently we are thinking about a use case for our 1300
     high
     end GPU farm that is not necessarily profit oriented, but most
     importantly interesting and exciting. I asked a lot of people till
     now
     and also people from chaos computer club in germany, where I
     received
     especially ideas pointing to using the farm to decrypt emails or
     other
     decryption services. Also I was suggested to use it to decrypt the
     NSA_KEY, but that is obviously not doable in human time even if the
     farm would be 1000x bigger.
     Do you have any interesting idea what to do with the farm? If we
     like
     the project it we wouldn't hesitate to start directly!
     I would really appreciate if you could ask this to the mailing list
     and I am really excited about the answers. What do you think?
     Greetings,
     Marco
