For over a year, I've been wondering - can we improve Bitcoin's settlement assurances and stabilize Nakamoto consensus? And how will new opcodes and new fees impact miner economics and, more critically, network stability? We explore this and more in Pooling in OP_CAT's World
and then it CRASHED to a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars
first reasonable thing i’ve heard a crypto person say in the last few years tbh
the openai IMO news hit me pretty heavy this weekend i'm still in the acute phase of the impact, i think i consider myself a professional mathematician (a characterization some actual professional mathematicians might take issue with, but my party my rules) and i don't think i…
How I almost got a Tungsten cube from @ercwl I claimed (and still do) that Fraud Proofs don't work. Meaning, the promise that "anyone can initiate an arbitration process" cannot hold. Several years ago, Eric asked me over dinner : "would you like to bet a Tungsten cube on…
This week, @PresidioBitcoin hosted the Bitcoin Quantum Summit (pbquantum.com). I was thrilled to be invited to attend, and wanted to write up a thread about what I learned this week. I’ll save my commentary for the end, and start with where we are, the challenges we…
BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #28: ORANGE PILLING CRYPTO WITH WIZARDS & CATS | with @udiWertheimer One of the most influential voices in “Bitcoin Season II,” Udi Wertheimer is one of the most controversial and, perhaps, most misunderstood figures in the Bitcoin community broadly. A…
Commercially available quantum computers can break secp5k1. Still about 2 orders of magnitude off... For now.
Breaking a 5-Bit Elliptic Curve Key with a 133-Qubit Quantum Computer ⚛️ This experiment breaks a 5-bit elliptic curve cryptographic key using Shor’s algorithm. Executed on @IBM's 133-qubit ibm_torino with @qiskit, a 15-qubit circuit, comprised of 10 logical qubits and 5…
Today we publish a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal addressing incentive & safety issues for migrating the ecosystem to post quantum cryptography. BIP timeframes are relative to a future point at which quantum computers are deemed a significant threat. github.com/jlopp/bips/blo…
