True, but the cost hasn't changed by the same magnitude:
> In 1998 the Electronic Frontier Foundation built the EFF DES Cracker. It cost around $250,000
> The system that you're renting time on is over $100k in specialized FPGA hardware
- ARandomerDude 6y ago$250K in 1998 is $400K today, if the inflation calculator I found on Google is correct. So there's a 4X decrease in inflation adjusted cost. Not an order of magnitude, but it's something.
- hedgehog 6y agoThose are also older FPGAs, price for the same performance today would be lower.
