Powers of Tau Attestation
Gibson Ashpool
USA
Purchased four core2duo PC's with cash from someone on Craigslist over a year ago for another project but they have been collecting dust for months now so figured they are good candidates for powers of tau.
TAU machine specs:
Dell Optiplex 330
Intel Core2duo
2GB ddr2 Kensington RAM
80GB HDD
To start preparing I wiped the HDD with DBAN eraser. Ran memtests via live CD and then installed Lubuntu 16.04.
Ran following commands via terminal:
> sudo curl -sSF https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh
> sudo apt-get install git
I downloaded the challenge file on a seperate PC, then transferred the challenge file to the compute PC via USB stick.
> git clone https://github.com/ebfull/powersoftau
Plugged in USB stick and copied challenge file into powersoftau directory
> cd powersoftau
> cargo run --release --bin compute
It ran for a short time then when prompted for entropy, added long random string of text. I then asked my daughter to enter random keys while I didnt look, to which she replied "Really? Just press the keys?" and I replied "Press as many as you want, just dont press the enter key" she then pressed random keys for about 15 seconds and when she was done I instructed her to hit the enter key. I then turned back to the terminal to see "reading challenge into memory, Computing, this could take awhile" in the terminal. It was getting late so I put her to bed, grabbed a beer and watched TV, checking back every 15mins or so.
Compute took almost 2hrs

Powered down PC, removed two RAM sticks and HDD. Destroyed RAM and HDD with power tools.
I then performed full format on USB stick.
