$100k isn't that much money, particularly since collisions can be reused for multiple attacks w/ length-extension. Heck Bitcoin has had (ineffective) spam attacks that have probably have cost around that much, and there's good reason to suspect they've been privately funded by angry trolls.
There's a lot of people for whom $100k is "fuck you" money.
- dmd 10y agoThat's not what "fuck you" money means. https://www.quora.com/What-is-fuck-you-money https://www.quora.com/What-is-fuck-you-money
- phpnode 10y ago"fuck you money" is something different - it's the amount of wealth you need (varying per individual) where you can comfortably say "fuck you" to a particular job or opportunity or proposal someone makes to you if you don't want to do it. I believe the term you're looking for is something like "chump change"
- ominous 10y agoI have seen it used in that (to mean the same as chump change) in linkedin articles by random recruiters, so I guess it will suffer the fate of literally vs. figuratively. Terrible.. but use dictates meaning, if it goes mainstream.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoCan you give an example? "Fuck you money" is pretty literal already, - the money required to be able to say "fuck you." I can't see how it can make any sense in any other context.
- ominous 10y agoCan't find it. The use was as if it was "fuck it money", "it" being the fact you have enough so you're not counting expenses.
- petertodd 10y agoI'm aware of that usage of the term; I've also seen it used the way I'm using it. English is fun that way. :)
