Whaat? Of coure it won't come out smaller.
Redjohn didn't compile his own keygen, but relied on the one he got
from potatoware, long ago substituted by spooks for a hacked one.
The internal issue is that one of the primes is only half the length
of the other, and the private key can be cracked in a few weeks, and
no doubt has been cracked. This shortness is why his sig is so small.
Whether this is a cover story and he's a spook, or he's just stupid
and did not ask himself why it is smaller, we cannot tell, but it
doesn't matter. My perl script removes redjohn from all stats. Even
as middle its presence weakens the chain.
All the above is false.
Except that Redjohn is a pervert.
