Don't just say they can, tell us how.
LOL are you joking ?
This whole gimmick network can be taken over pretty quickly.
Do you really think that the US gov. could not defeat some gamers in their basements with ATI cards etc. !
Military technology is years ahead of that available to mere civilians. The NSA are talking about building exaflop computers already etc.
Not to mention a huge budget of billions of dollars. Geeks will never match that.
Even the Chinese have them ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianhe-I#Tianhe-1A does about 4.7 petaflops and bitcoin has about 25 petaflops total hashing power ) ! Keep in mind that all this is released to the public but behind closed doors they have supercomputers that are for the military and many times ( 10x even ) stronger than what universities have etc.
LOL again !
