The Discrete Logarithm Problem over Prime Fields can be
transformed to a Linear Multivariable Chinese Remainder 
Theorem
H. Gopalakrishna Gadiyar, R. Padma
(Submitted on 25 Aug 2016)

If this paper is fixable, it will break at least some (if not all)
DL instances in F_p^* (DH, DSA???, El Gamal).

There are implicit assumptions like 0 \lt n \lt p (and possibly
0< \lt beta_n \lt p).

Keywords for breaking after it:
integer programming, fixed number of variables, complexity

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down"

There is discussion about this on cpunks.org and on
reddit.

Basically there is "auction" about unspecified exploits, allegedly
borrowed from the NSA or group tied to the NSA. It is run by
Shadow Brokers, live on air:

The bids are in bitcoins.

AFAIK, bitcoin addresses are generated by crypto related to the user
and are not user specified.

Recent consecutive transaction are from weird addresses, spaces added
by me:

Reading downwards and assuming "1et" is hexspeak for "let" this reads
a verse from a song:

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down"

'Muricans calls this "rickroll".
If someone knows what "rickroll" is in this case, please let me know.

Apple offers up to $200K "for major flaws in iOS".

Exodus offers up to $500K for the same.

Probably there is a marketing catch in "up to".

Likely on the black market prices are higher.

IIRC Some leaked Hacking Team emails suggest "exploit brokers" are 
reselling sploits for $100K per sploit (and possibly higher).
