To summarize:
1. The Crown Sterling wackjobs did a big press event where they factored a 256-bit key in 50 seconds on a standard laptop.
2. I debunk them by factoring a 256-bit key in 100 seconds on a single CPU
3. You can reproduce my results, but not their results.

The conclusions are:
1. They are wackjobs.
2. Reproducible results or get the fuck off.

BTW, the first question anybody in the press should ask "okay, so how long does it normally take to factor a 256-bit RSA key?"
