This is so profound.. BTC ++++ / circle jerk matrix of a read, down the memory hole. (arnt' these beautiful) Theorem. The prime p is a unique prime of period n if and only if [unique1.gif] is a power of p where [Phi_n%28x%29.gif] is the nth [1]cyclotomic polynomial. It is possible to generalize this to other bases, and the generalized unique primes in [2]base-x (any integer greater than one) are the prime [3]factors of [Phi_n%28x%29.gif] which do not divide x.

Yet another tactic of the disruptor is to label your opposition as "conspiracy theorists" for daring to entertain possibilities like the one you just outlined. Everyone should read this: [5]https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Literally every single one of these tactics is at play here. Note that I'm not making the logical leap and concluding that this whole charade is a top-down effort to subvert Bitcoin, but we should be able to discuss the possibility (precisely because it is a possibility) without being labeled tinfoil nutjobs for doing so. If there was an attack on bitcoin, what would it look like?
