RE: Illegal Prime Number
I agree, it seems like a waste of time and enegery to try to stop people from a number.
Its making me wonder what word be more of a pay off, hashing crypto for small amounts of coins or hashing primes trying to compute the next large prime number to sell to an ecryption company.
Its something like 250k for a new prime number.
O.o
Hahaha yeah I read somewhere people buy new prime number for 200k but, think what would happen if all the miners were to try getting prime numbers, a company which goal is to sells prime numbers only, it would me illegal to "steal" those numbers unless you calculate it yourself? How then can you steal a number?
I think once you sell the number you have to forget it.
lol
New discovered prime numbers get labled by the person that descovers it but i think once you sell it the buyer owns it.
The idea of someone owning a number seems insane to me.
I want to own the numbers 0 and 1.
lol
What is stopping you for selling that number over and over again?, nobody knows the number anyway, as knowing the number is owning it.
What if two companies sell the same number to two different clients? Or they are forced to register the number as their own?
Which come back to owning a number, so if I said a number no matter is prime o no and I said it is mine then what?
LOL
If people can own numbers, can they own colors too?
:D
They can own what ever they want by this point, after all bitcoins are just numbers just the same?
I guess they are.
Its a weird idea still to me.
:D
