Adi Shamir? I am pretty sure he published something :)

Article says they "will publish a paper Sunday."

Serious question, then, why the need to provide a negative comment when you didn't even examine the material presented?

EDIT: Won't out the author's identity, but parent post explained that he had only skimmed the article. The original post was asking who the computer scientists were and why this wasn't just link bait.

I did, but not in detail. I just see too many unsubstantiated negative articles about bitcoin that it gets tiresome sometimes. I'm glad to know I was wrong this time.

Re edit: No, I never asked who the authors were and frankly it's not relevant. Anyway, it's sunday, and I'm waiting for the publication. It was also pretty obvious from my other replies that I started this thread..

oh....just RSA

Even if I missed that, argument from authority doesn't do much for me.

Fair enough.
