In response to this postThere were many calls along the way. Some polls that were only a hair away from 50/50 split.
But in the end...
7 really is the luckiest number.

That was so close!
Alright, Fedi. We're getting closer. Which range represents your favorite number.
(If we ever get a perfect tie, the answer is NaN.)

@gsuberland @f4grx Download the bcrypt implementation from @ryanc and calculate a high cost so it takes like 3 hours per hash trial

In response to this postRound 14.
Fediverse, in which range does your favorite number lie? Vote below!
I also want to answer a question that keeps coming up:
These are all unsigned integers.
Floating point values and negative numbers are not in scope. Certainly no complex numbers or quaternions, either.
Just a simple binary search over uint32_t values, originally scoped between 0 and ~1 million.
Hope that helps! :3
Anyway, back to voting:
@soatok I know what number it's going to be but I'm still voting the other way to try to get my actual favourite number.

In response to this postLucky Round 13.
Fedi's favorite integer surely fits in 1 byte.

In response to this postRound 10!
We're back on an hourly cadence.
There are quite a few values in each branch that I think might be popular answers for favorite numbers on Fedi.
Let's see which direction we want to take it.

In response to this postRound 9!
This poll will be open for 12 hours so I can go to bed.
What is the Fediverse's favorite positive integer between 0 and 1,000,000? We're using a binary search to find the most popular answer.
