I didn't see however, any mention of the fact that the owner of the machine that finds the key gets $1000.00 as well. It might be helpful for snagging new participants.

Distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net) is currently running a :distributed effort to crack the rc5-64 cryptographic code per an RSA :challenge. Past distributed.net efforts have included cracking DES :encryption and rc5-56 encryption. The project works by utilizing your :machine's idle time to perform a brute-force check of all possibly :cryptographic keys. Future projects will include the search for optimal :golumb rulers. : Team FreeBSD is organized to show the world that not only does FreeBSD :have the power to serve, but enough power left over to do some serious :key-cracking :) Currently, Team FreeBSD is ranked 23rd on :distributed.net's team rankings :(http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64/tlist.php3?low=1&limit=100) with a :meager 265 members.
