Looks like ECC2 is Done (Found the Solution)

[Digital Parasite]

Well it looks like the ECC2 challenge is finally over. A probably solution has been found and verified by Chris Monico but now it has to be officially confirmed by Certicom:

For those of you not familiar, MD5CRK (http://www.md5crk.com) is quite similar to ECC2-109 in that both are looking for a collision and using Pollard's Rho cycle detecting algorithm.

The MD5CRK client will also probably run faster on your hardware. :) Don't forget to join the Free-DC team once you setup your client!

The project operators got the confirmation from Certicom, the server is shut down - the project is definitly done. Congrats to everyone.

:cheers:
See if someone can snag a snapshot of the final STATS and post it up here. :)

We were in 18th place according to the Rank Panel from yesterday.

DF, MD5CRK or LifeMapper where we are threatened right now, are good options... ;)
