Looking forward to debating whether quantum computers are just the bogeyman hiding under the server rack.
We're back again Friday @ 1800 UTC with another debate! Much has been said of late regarding Quantum Computing and BTC, but is there any merit to the concerns being raised? @robin_linus and @reardencode seem to think not, while @lopp and @cryptoquick are hard at work developing…
The quantum apocalypse is much farther off than I thought. Even factoring 21 is still far out of reach unless we cheat and hand‑wire all the hard parts of Shor’s algorithm into the circuit. We’ve never run real Shor—not even on tiny toy numbers. 😄

a path towards bitcoin as everyday money
At Block, we’re building toward a world where bitcoin is everyday money - not just a store of value. To realize this vision, we need congress to modernize the regulatory frameworks to support this. block.xyz/inside/policie…
5 years from now, hacking will be like in the 90s when you just had to telnet into something and login with admin:admin.

Excited for this debate. May the better argument win!
This Friday the 18th at 1800 UTC time, join us here for a debate between @BawdyAnarchist_ and @SuperTestnet about the merits of Lightning Network with respect to privacy, and how it stacks up to Monero. They've faced off before, and this time, both will be better informed. 👇
Time to lower the minrelaytxfee and let the market decide github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi…
Why isn’t the minimum fee rate determined by how full your mempool is?
Are there any miners/pools other than @MARA which accept TXs using the Taproot annex?
In 2012, a quantum computer factored the number 21. This is still the record. An attempt to factor 35 failed. Why haven’t we seen any progress at all on actual quantum computing for 13 years(!), despite all the big announcements about more qubits and better error correction?

Two things are clear: 1) We need a clear formal rigorous definition of consensus rules that is both human-readable AND verifiable. 2) We need way more implementations.
