I have not heard about it but given that the Wau Holland Stiftung is
collecting GnuPG donations also via Bitcoin, it is likely that this
can't be tracked.

However, if that processing power is used to find many dups for long
keyids we will sooner or later neet to invest work to mitigate the
effect of this (e.g. adding a fingerprint as signed attribute to each
signature).
