Casino Game (Update 02/02/2022)

Driving foot traffic at a Casino requires activity and intensity. For a number to be a lot of fun to factor, it can take up to 12 hrs to run 6000 ECM curves on a 6 core computer running at 4.5 GHz.

 
Main problem: Casino Games run 15 minutes - 6000 curves can take up to 12 hrs on 6 cores at 4.5 GHz.
12 hrs is 43200 seconds * 6 cores is 259,200 core seconds. Divided by 6 computers * 6 cores each = 259,200 / 48 cores = 5400 seconds, or 90 minutes. Big improvement, but still not gambling.

It is mathematically trivial to distribute the processing among the computer cores, but as a programming problem, this would be a project in itself.

The game cannot be played as I first envisioned - a majority of numbers go to SIQS for a guaranteed solution. In experimentation, I have been able to observe the following.

It takes time to roll 5 (ten sided dice) 20 times and enter the number.
I compensate by rolling 5 dice again at substituting them at the end... how can this accommodate competitors gambling, or foot traffic?
House rolls the first 100 digits... if it factors the House loses. Gamblers roll 5 dice/digits, by turn?
This works if the game runs until a number goes to 6000 curves, and then the House goes again. This takes me between 10 and 30 tries, in practice.

Improved list of things to lay odds on in a Casino Game of Factorizing 100 digit numbers.

1. It factors completely, without ever going to SIQS. (not that common)
2. Largest significant factor is over/under:
    15 digits
    20 digits
    30 digits
    40 digits.
3. It factors BEFORE it gets to 300 curves, SIQS or NOT.
4. It doesn't factor in less than 6000 curves.

A Question About Erasthmus' Sieve

Students of Mathematics are familiar with Erasthmus' Sieve. 2     x 3          x                4       x 5               x 6     x     x 7 8     x 9          x 10       x          x 11 12     x     x 13 14     x 15          x     x 16     x 17 18     x     x 19 20     x          x 21          x 22     x 23 First, we strike all multiples of 2 up to the square root (5.) Then all multiples of 3, then all multiples of 5, etc. I wrote a digital implementation of the Sieve, and used the index cr...

Notice of corrupted results: Vigenere may yet be found to be a "group."

Retraction: It is with regret that I do not delete the previous post. I am an individual, not an organization, and I failed to adequately double-check my results, but I am leaving the post to maintain some accountability. I am able to definitively say that the script for 2chars_from_file.py DOES NOT yield an exhaustive list. It develops the ciphertext for all 2 Char combinations of the FIRST 10, three character ciphertexts. This is not due to a logic error, but rather there is a virus that corrupts the indentation of the two write statements.  This may be verified by downloading the relevant code, and examining it, and running it if needed, against the relevant datafile. It is difficult to be exhaustively correct about ALL of the scripts. This calls ALL of my results in question, with regard to the qualification of a mathematical group. If Vigenere IS a group, the resulting substitution is still valid, but there exist 6 Char passwords that will accomplish the same encryption in ONE...

A Simple Rule for the Stock Market

The Stock Market is where the wealth of America is stored. As such, it is best when the stock market faithfully reflects the ups and downs of the economy. Stock market corrections are how the stock market reflects setbacks to the economy. This is good, as far as it goes, but in fact, when a stock market correction occurs, it is not well understood where the value of labor, goods and services stored in the stock market goes.  The whole idea that rising stock prices reflect improvements in the economy, is that this is the result of good investments. Investing is an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result. An investment is proven to be a good one, when it pays off after a duration of time. If you buy a stock, you wait for it to rise in price, and sell it at the appropriate time. "Buy low, Sell high," is how stock brokers explain their craft. How long should you hold a stock? This has always been up to the ow...
