Nope, no millenium prize solutions yet. Nobody pays for proof of Goldbach's now, and i HATE the "submit your work and we Might pay you years down the road."

I'm trying to get paid the old fashioned way, on ebay. If you want to get rewarded for something, the last thing you should do is give it away to the public, never mind the security issues involved. You can check my other reply if you want to see the description of the basic model for attacking the problem, in the ebay listing. It turns out that the model is applicable to both one-way functions. I didn't realize that up front. Most likely some have already figured them out.

It's easy enough to prove that you can do it without revealing the method. E.g. try factoring

If you are a qualified buyer, and want to pay at least $24000, you can take one of the methods and check it yourself (there are more than one, but work on same principle). I don't put the algorithms in computers, so any checking above a 9 digit product will have to be done by someone else. There is enough of a clue in the ebay description to figure it out yourself, maybe. It seems obvious to me since i already know the answer. I assume now that capable mathematicians can make the connections much faster than i did. Let me know if you figure it out and factor your test number quickly. Then again, i really don't care if you do, which I'd bet all my money and yours too that you won't figure it out.

Hehe, thanks, I'll pass. But good luck.

I've got to admit, I've been NerdSniped by this one. I've been putzing around in Python for hours now.

Factoring large numbers always sucks me in.

Play with it, and you may just figure it out. I'm glad someone gets something interesting out of my posts.
