I believe you substantially misunderstood my statements, 2^69 work is
doable _now_. 2^55 work was performed in 72 hours in 1998, scaling
forward the 7 years to the present (and hence through known data) leads
to a situation where the 2^69 work is achievable today in a reasonable
timeframe (3 days), assuming reasonable quantities of available money
($500,000US). There is no guessing about what the future holds for this,
the 2^69 work is NOW.
I wasn't aware that FPGA technology had improved that much if any - feel
free to correct my misapprehension in that area though :)
