Interesting article over the #security of #RSA2048:

The cpu power used to mine Bitcoin - all combined - would need 727 years to break a single RSA2048 key.
Breaking one key would currently consume 3.6 times the power that produced worldwide.

(This ignores that the used algorithm -NFS- is very memory hungry and for RSA2048 would need 1000 TB of RAM)
