No, this is just as retarded as covenants, worse in fact ... They go hand in hand

This is an attempt to normalize forced upgrades

Quantum is a hoax

I can see that, any links or docs I can read about it

The quantum hoax? just posted a link to a decent video on it

#1040467

To put it even more simply though that scaling the number of qubits needed to crack a key is fundamentally no different than directly cracking the key... its all just scammer word games to explain why it doesn't work and they need more money for R&D... scammers in Bitcoin then ride the FUD train.

Sorry, but this is your source? An AI-generated video talking about a huge conspiracy theory no one could see through and just kept pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into?
I agree that the media often exaggerate things for clicks, but that isn't an argument against technology. I would like to hear an argument that couldn't be used in history against computers, airplanes or AI. These two cited guys are probably basing their calculations on the assumption that things will go in the same direction, but nobody knows if there won't be a breakout in the future (and as always there will be).

It's not a source, intuition is the source. The video articulates some things for people without such intuition.

Orgs poured billions into shitcoins too, all hoaxes. Doesn't require a conspiracy, people are just retarded.

Reality is there's no tangible quantum supremacy to prove the concept, it's just a story that's dragged on for decades without material progress. Handwaving that it could happen in the future is capitulation to this fact, aliens could visit and gift us such magic, but that's not a realistic roadmap.

Good point.

what this guy said. with the disclaimer that I can't tell if quantum is a hoax or not, but I trust my instincts.

Quantum is a hoax

xDDDDDDDD Thank good you are not the decision maker. Feel free to have this incorrect opinion, but don't get in the way of us other people fixing the issue instead of pretending it's not a problem.

And who are you exactly? Just because your ego wants to believe it can solve a problem doesn't make the problem real. I'll call out your delusions as I see fit, scammer.

Such a quantum threat would also be a quantum miner, making key-cracking superfluous.

Wtf are you talking about. Quantum threat is only about breaking key-signing of UTXOs.

When it comes to mining, quantum algos improves SHA generation only slightly, nothing game changing.

Anyways its clear from this post that you are clueless, so its an end-of-topic from my side.

reply
clueless

You're fudding a computing hoax going back to the 70's thats still not doing anything, yea you're a real expert

Coherence of the number of qubits needed to crack a signing key is exactly as achievable as brute forcing it, it's a scam, same difficulty with new wording

reply
yea you're a real expert

I wouldn't go that far, but nevertheless I added my remarks to the PR discussion for this BIP. I encourage you to do the same on the github PR page! Surely you have some useful insight to share with the community xDDD

yeah @justin_shocknet, just remember to be nice or they'll have a good reason to BAN YOU.

What would you have to see from a QC to make you think ECDSA keys are vulnerable?

reply

Some consistent demonsterable undeniable quantum supremacy that illuminates the path to scaling the impossible
