Bruteforcing the Devil

Is it supposed to be obvious where this #Merveilles community with its icons is on the web? Am I unaware of a whole type of communities like this?

Wasn't too hard to find. If it were obvious it'd kinda take the fun out of it.

Or you can write it OpenCL and get a result near instantly.

OpenCL would be way overkill for casual brute force. I get several solutions a second using a C hasher on a single CPU core of my laptop.

Maybe there's an OpenCL use for finding extremely optimal usernames, though.

Aw guys, don't go start posting on their site (which I won't link) with devil names. Everyone knows communities turn to shit when they get too big and 300 different users posting all with blank icons is going to kill the fun for them.

I'm not even a member of Merveilles but that makes me sad for them.

The icon concept was a fascinating thing to see.

I think shoruzorhorheugogeuzudeazaeon actually sounds a bit more like a demon than the other candidates.

Well, judging by the link in the article...
