Sergue, have you ever worked on engineering bio-weapons?
Thx, Could you link your academic background please?
I've been wondering when this would be addressed. Applicable QC is alot closer than people realize.

Also I don't quite see the rational for the need to create a completely different method as opposed to changing to a QC resistant algorithm such as polynomial.

Could you rephrase the question?
Are you wondering why we did the Tangle instead of Blockchain?
I am wondering why the need to replace the blockchain at this time. I am not sold on the idea that yet another coin (token ATM) needs to be created in order to solve the only serious issue I see with current solutions. I am also wondering if current solutions can be upgraded to this tangle with a fork? I understand that alot of work has obviously been put into this effort but I can see a few other methods to monetize this than the creation of yet another coin. Why not propose to the larger Alt projects they morph into this tangle for a fee and use them as a testbed to prove to bitcoin that this would be a hard fork worth pushing. If this were accomplished I see the funding flowing and the infrastructure will not have to be built from the ground up. I am still trying to digest the whitepaper (the math is beyond me) so could you list the bullet points for the advantage/disadvantages v/s blockchain tech.

Therefore, the above discussion suggests that the tangle provides a much better
protection against an adversary with a quantum computer compared to the (Bitcoin)

Saying the time is not much larger is not quantitative. Bloat and TTC are subjective. I'm glad you added the qualifier "Suggests" as I do not see it proven but like I said I cannot follow the math, that is for smarter people than me.
Typo in red.
Goddamn I hate quoting from PDF's why do you people continue to use them? Stinking browser plugin failed and I lost all those tabs in the window with the PDF. PDF's are unsafe.
ANYTHING ADOBE IS UNSAFE!!!!
I finish redoing this later as I have to flush the cache and remove this browser from memory to recover stability and I have pages to backup before that.
