- kobalsky 2y agothe canary is there for a gas leak, not for an asteroid destroying the earth. the canaries that are left are worth several million of USD combined, if there's any incremental progress towards cracking them, that's a strong incentive not to leave the money on the table. if someone comes up with a full crack sponteously, then yeah the canaries won't protect you, or anything else for that matter.
