This is VERY bad idea, since it's VERY easy to generate hits from those serials! I strongly recommend you to remove those from forum. Unless you remove them, you'll soon have "hits" with those serials. :?

Why? These are not the complete serials. How can you create hits from incomplete serial numbers?

because EBT discloses another 2 digits! so there are 3 left, and one of it is a checksum -> 2 digits to guess...

Here you have to guess 4 digits - 10.000 combinations, and the checksum.

no! you get the first from your stats, additional 2 from ebt by searching your notes where you see 4 digits... and thus you have to guess 2!

Chrissi, you used "X012345*****" style, right?
EBT uses "X****4567***"
That makes 2 common digits, how on earth and hell should you find those notes from EBT?
Did anyone provide a link to each note?

And about guessing 100 possible serials:
Finnish notes have a hit ratio of 1:40, so you only need to guess 40 notes starting with L to get a hit.
And hits into series of 100 guessed notes with 9 same digits are noticed.

Please don't make things worse than they are.
