It would be wrong of me to describe something that I don’t understand as worthless, because what do I know? Well, at least this little study didn’t cost me anything. I hope.
Are you joking? Don't you realize what advanced derivative securities can be...derived from this?
Hmm... If I’m not mistaken, some public-key crypto systems are based on large primes... If you found a way of generating a lot of large primes in a reasonable amount of time, you might be able to “attack” some of these crypto systems... Warning, that is based on a vague memory about a PK system... May not be in use anymore, may not apply... Probably the engineer/computer geek in me, but I think this is kind of interesting...
