Actually, I think it shows the point very clearly. Difficulty is an exponential function of password length. It's the other graphs that aren't clear.
Congrats, you've passed algebra. To some it looks like a straight line. To some it is a straight line. Keeping things is prospect to something you can relate to, shows the magnitude of the situation. ie time. |

 doesn't portray much of a point, does it?  Too bad you only live < 110 years |

You should not use a linear scale but a logarithmic scale
1. It's not my graph 2. Who uses logarithms for portraying time. # hashes directly correlates with time. # hashes is the independent variable. |

Now, for some math. In the 95 character ASCII printable keyspace (usually around the number of different characters allowed in a password), checking every possible password up to 8 characters would take around 6.6 e+15 tries. While that seems like a lot, a 1 TH/s (1 e+12 hashes/sec) unit could process all of those in under two hours. (this is hypothetical, I'm not accounting for bandwidth limitations and the like)
Sorry, that was a bit long winded. Hopefully it's at least moderately understandable.
Now the scary thing, watch the curve as you go to 9, 10 and 11+ characters. passwords should be 9+ characters, as that would take years for the average person to crack it with average equipment. edit-  this is what I was referring to No offense, but that's a completely useless (and actually deceptive) graph. The scale on the y axis is really poorly chosen. The difference between each line is 2.5E19... 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 750,000,000,000,000,000,000 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 250,000,000,000,000,000,000 0 That look better? The graph is 100^x, in case you're wondering |

Any chance we could get a feature added so that we can see which blocks were found by us individually. I have to my credit 5 blocks, but no idea which ones they were. "Your" blocks are marked by bold font in the stats table. Currently there is no way to list them all, but you can notice some if you check the stats from time to time. This information serves no real purpose and is provided for amusement only. That being said, I just went through 6 months of blocks to find my two, lol. Unneeded stress on your servers, which can be accomplished by a few lines of code. |

LOL, you don't have a picture of a hot chic as your avatar  Your sperm bucket would be the chic, no? The internet prefers the term "cumdumpster". We hipsters prefer "nutbucket" or "jizzbin" Hurr durr, you're not unique because you call them a different name. Stop trying to stand out you pathetic hipster faggot. You see that hole between my two cheeks? No, not my mouth. Yes, there you go.. that's it. Now look down a little. That's right those two flaps. Now I need you to just suck on them. Ok? I have a gay friend named Richard. If you want, I can give him your number and you guys could gobble the cock and balls. |

Damn, it was 32 years ago that I was an ur-hipster, long before it was in vogue. Hell, back then even cumdumpsters were cool- you could party all night with the groupies and not worry about you would wake up with that a shot of penicillin wouldn't fix.
THE AIDS. OH GOD THE AIDS |

I just got one of mine removed a few hours ago... they have a policy about keeping mine (something about infection or something if others touched it, these teeth looked bleached (id hope))
They are not bleached. They were removed before they broke through the gums. Both of them, because they would impact my 2nd molar. Here's the top ones which were removed yesterday    Notice the 4th root. Ultra rare! Also, sedation is amazing. Although you cant remember anything for the next 4 hours after surgery |
