"Graham calculates that cracking 1024-bit DH it the computational equivalent of 2.5 hours' worth of global Bitcoin mining power."
The article also stated that the NSA system took a year to crack a prime, and cost $100m
Thus the equivalent value of the global bitcoin mining equipment is $350 billion.
Hmmm. Obviously there is a lag in technology between the NSA system and now, but there remains something of a gap here.
