I would love to know what the algorithms are, what they are for, who controls them, etc. Seems a good way to get people to work for government agencies unknowingly, or for hackers (things to break into computers or read encrypted data, cause crashes, overload power plants, etc). I know our government has some virtual assets it seized that were discussed here some time ago.
If only I could come up with a better search algorithm that I could dwarf Google, hmmm, maybe I should have bitcoin solve it.
