What I am asserting is that if anyone has a good shot at getting close to cracking this problem it would be a mathematician, more so than a software engineer. [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value.

I don’t understand why this is impossible. Technology is clearly accelerating at a near exponential rate." Ask experts in the relevant fields (machine learning, logic, or general computer science) and they'll tell you, what Wolfram said *is* like curing cancer, in this area. “Except to say that it is going to answer simple questions.
