The curve: https://elliptic-rank.icarm.cloud/curve/302
Impressive. Wonder if we'll get something earth-shattering, like factoring, or maybe it is already solved just not public yet.
Wow! And it's only been a few days since one with rank 30 was found.
The previous HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374873
Apparently the open question is whether you can achieve arbitrarily high ranks. And the username is "ranksunbounded" so presumably the answer is yes, and they're teasing it this way?
I expect the name is more of a joke, not a tease of some result they've yet to reveal.
Fuck this deliberate teasing and marketing. Call me when they are done.
