I bet if we created a network we could get at least a few thousand people to donate processing power, the question is how many pc would it take to break it in a normal amount of time (couple of months).

No seriously, people. stop asking to help brute force the 3DS key. It's not gonna be that easy. Have you heard of patience? I hear a legend that it's considered a virtue.Is that true?

What exactly are they processing against to know when they found it so they would know when to stop the computers from crunching on it? I mean what, do they have a 3DS hooked up to their PC somehow and something happens when the correct key is inputted into it?

thats also what i was thinking but don't know terribly much about programming (or hacking for that matter)

Heh, yeah....I guess we're what hackers consider leeches. We just use what others have discovered for our own personal use. Thank goodness for hackers, eh?

Maybe you should try playing the lottery instead
