is there any web site where I can see a *complete* summary about the
sum of all proxies ?

http://bovine.st.hmc.edu/cgi-bin/stats.cgi

only shows the sum of all blocks of bovine and

http://bovine.st.hmc.edu/cgi-bin/proxyinfo.exe

doesn't mention number of blocks etc. of other proxies.

is there any global estimate how long this crack effort will run
based on the current number of overall clients etc ?
