Title: your currency uses prime numbers? ... not as safe as you think

Primes are the buildings blocks of math, and are used in cyptography, because it was believe they were random.

A new formula has been found that primes are series, determined, sucessive, and then predictable:

                Prime(previous n) = Prime(current) / L


then all prime number are not random.

this new series of all prime numbers  is called Life primes

Can solve any prime number, inclusive large primes, sometime in o(1)...one operation.

The crypto behind Bitcoin does not use primes, so not a worry for us :)

Eg. RSA encryption does use primes, but in cracking RSA the challenge is finding the correct prime and that wont become much easier even if there is a formula for finding primes. There are so many primes that finding the correct one will always be hard.
