I think it's a reasonable point. There's lots of armchair experts saying that md5 is broken, unusable, and anyone can reverse it, and here we are 14 hours later and nobody has proven it. Given that the claim was 12 minutes on a 25 machine cluster, that would imply 300 minutes of compute time which is 6 hours. This is hacker news, if it's not going to be done here, then no armchair enthusiasts are going to do it.

If someone can point me towards the tools and how to set it up, I'll leave my gtx1070 at it overnight and see.
