HN comment orderLooks like the HN account is working again. There have been a couple of quick updates I posted on the linked page. First, SDF does accept Bitcoin for validation. Second, SMJ is personally upping the prize to $100. See the link for details. I am very happy with the result of this stunt. So far this page has gotten over 100,000 which works nicely towards the goal of driving more users towards Tor and SDF.

I really wish people wouldn't base their claims on security contests like this: "nobody has claimed the reward so it must be secure" is fundamentally a really bad argument, and - as Moxie's article on the Telegram crypto contest [1] demonstrates - it's easy to design constraints that look reasonable but in fact make the contest unwinnable, regardless of the scheme's security.
