Not sure, "define" only appears 10 times but "function" appears 19 times. It's probably because 'e' is more popular in the code and "define" has two of them. Looking at the decrypted code there a

OK, next pick a word you think will be in the output (it's php code so I'll guess the word "function" might be common). You then XOR each 8 character substring with "function", taking note of the position of th

But you're just looking for the text being in a certain range of characters. The first stage is determining the key length, you can do this by looking at the number of different character values in positions 1,2,3... then 1,3,5,... and

Exactly. Writing libraries in C means you have to be much more strict than simple throwaway single execution binaries. What our company has ended up doing is wrappering most low level functions with the common code around it. For example, f

Bitcoin may end up a big flop[1] in the end (who knows) but without trying it there's no way to know, so expending all of this time and effort isn't wasted. Similar to scientific experimentation; the outcome, regardless of success

Interesting question. For the same hashrate then less electricity is going to be used given that ASIC mining is far more efficient that GPU mining. But the overall hashrate is still on an ever upward trend. I guess it depends on how many pe

Bitcoin mining could use any amount of electricity given that the block difficulty adjusts to the prevailing hashrate. If more people pile in to mining then the difficulty increases and total $$$ spent on electricity will increase. Converse

I think he/she was talking about the train tickets. Walk-up/on-the-day fares for train tickets in the UK are very expensive. Picking London to Edinburgh as an example (~400 miles in ~4.5 hours) you'd pay £125 off-peak and £15

My night owl status was cured by having children. I no longer have a choice about what time I wake up. Semi-seriously though, there's nothing like having to fit something immovable into your schedule for sorting things like this out.
