While I see where you are coming from, the cost of brute forcing something can be readily calculated without even beginning to attempt the decryption.

You make a good point about decentralised compute power too, but that could be measured while put to use somewhere more useful.

Exactly I feel like they could make a better use of the computation power. I could make a project about running through all the private key space for the elliptic curve used by almost all the cryptocurrencies but there is not much scientific wisdom to get from that :-D
