Very cool. The obvious question I have after looking at that is why the largest 2WIRE dictionary has 4.8 billion entries when the keyspace is 10 billion. Is the keyspace really not all 10 billion, or is there a 50% chance my key won't be in the dictionary?


Yep, 50% chance of success. I'll probably be able to adjust this to 100% in the coming months, but in the current setup that's the maximum space we can cover for our estimate of the maximum price elasticity.
