Tom gave you a good track to follow.

As for how I see your situation - IF your theory works, I can't
undrstand why you chose the hard way - of trying to convince people -
instead of just SHOWING that you are right.

Factoring is a friendly and clear problem - either you CAN factor a
number or you only SAY you can - benefit from this clarity and break
the RSA challenge or demonstrate in any other way that your algoritm
works for really big numbers! The world will be yours then.
