DES Keyrate Rapidly Growing

David Hallowell writes "As you probably know the EFF's Deep Crack machine which won the last DES challenge is working with distributed.net for this contest. There's a graph which shows the performance of deep crack (labelled DC) and the rest of the distributed.net effort (labelled DCTI) which is composed of everyone running the rc5des clients. The keyrate from the combined rc5des clients is double that of Deep Crack compared to that of last time when it was less than Deep Crack (which has a constant keyrate). The combined rc5des + deep crack keyrate is also shown." Also, Team Slashdot is #2 in the top 100 if you're curious.
