Now I've been to the site and looked around it and I really don't have the first idea of what you (or they) are talking about.
What is RC5? Why does it need cracking? What are these "blocks"?
I'd love to help with anything that this community does but I haven't got a clue what it is I'm helping with.... perhaps a little more English and a little less jargon for those of us that haven't got a degree in rocketscience would help you to gain members for your team - I'm not suprised there's only you and one other member of the team its probably as a direct result of this approach.
This is the Linux USERS group and Linux can be used for a great many things - and this linux user doesn't understand 100% of all aspects of Linux in fact most of us work on a "learn it when I need to know it" basis so something that means a great deal to one person could be (and certainly in this case is) total gibberish to a great many others.
If you can tell me what I'm helping with I'll help :)
Kind regards,
David
