So a while back on this forum I was posting about some primality tests I was working on, as well as a factoring algorithm I derived from it. While those did not directly apply to this system I'm using now, it was my inspiration to try this. I don't want to say too much about the system until I know what to do with the information, but I also don't know how much I CAN do, at least on my own.
The issue is that- While I have found a solution that can massively decrease the time needed to find the factors of a number (<8 seconds to find factors for 95,729, and that's on a Raspberry Pi 3b. Took me 2 minutes by pen, paper, and calculator), I do not have NEARLY enough computing power to attempt numbers as seen in the RSA Factoring Challenge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge), but I also don't want to post a full solution and risk someone else using my work for that exact purpose.
Is there anything I can do? (Also, simply buying access to some distributed cloud computing may not be a fully viable option for me because I'm 17 and don't have a job right now)
