That quote is almost two months old; in the tech world he posted as a teenager and is now in old age...

There are two threats to crypto - one it created itself (AI) and the other I've been warning about for years.

Traditional computing, the kind AI uses, relies on bits that be on or off.  (Initial designs contemplated 10 phase bits to mimic base 10 but it was too complicated for the time).  Quantum computing relies on qubits that can be multiple values at once.  A Bitcoin private key is 256 bits - 1 or 0.   Theoretically, a 256 qubit com could crack a bitcoin private key in one try.  But Atom Computing's system has 1,180 qubits and the financial system still exists - because qubit noise requires error correction, and if you understand RAID, it means more space for the same information.   If we ever discover how to control quantum fluctuations (like we can control 100,000,000 degree plasma) then existing systems are already more than enough.

The US government has a plan to upgrade all systems to quantum proof by 2035.   HA!   I can search projections that say 10k years to 100-200 years to a couple years away - based on when they were written.  A recent article stated how the technology has been more effective than they expected.   

Further Reading:  Roughly a quarter of Bitcoin sits in older wallet formats that might be more vulnerable to quantum attacks.

AI is not only a threat to bitcoin's decentralization, but the entire crypto industry.  Not because it will invent a backdoor or crack the encryption, but by taking advantage of software and hardware flaws.

Zero day exploits have become common thanks to education and communication.    AI is superior in both - it just needs to be given a goal.    The bitcoin core is relatively bug free since thousands of eyes have reviewed it, but it also relies on outside libraries that may change, and runs on operating systems that may use custom RAID software to store data, etc.   Each minute change in any of these steps could be manipulated to produce an error in a way that upstream resources accept as valid, and boom - the AI can now access the private keys of any address that has ever used the blockchain stored on that corporate server running Windows 2025 Server on a HPE server with an octopus controller that has a zero day flaw.  (again, just an example)

This is not rocket science - anyone can do this if they have the time and programming knowledge to review every interaction with every connected device each time any driver changes.   AI can just do this faster, 24 hours a day, and without making mistakes.  (General LLM models make mistakes, custom models much less so).

I think someone in the world with AI skills would have interest in owning more bitcoin, so this is probably already being done.  The only thing stopping them from completing this goal right now would be all the proprietary data protected by modern encryption. 

How long have you need here, months? 

Many thieves give themselves away after the crime has happened.  In fact, that's how the most serious cases (murder, rape, etc) get themselves caught.   The criminal brags about it, or they make conflicting statements, or they say something that can easily be proven untrue.  It's harder to detect in written form since the author has time to phrase his words and can look up past details, but if you are stupid enough and greedy enough you will eventually fuck yourself.

In this case, I think he's just a troll and FMC has the right idea - we should ignore these anonymous bozos by default, as they cannot hurt anyone.   Anxiety and stress come from judging other people who have entirely different morals than you do.    How much would you care if a person who believed the earth was flat called you an idiot?   Prob not much.

Careful OP - Free Market Capitalist may be trying to trick you...   

How would restrictions like driver's licenses work?   Will we vote to spend money on an organization to police us, or just trust everyone will do the correct thing?

OgNasty has provided conflicting accounts of his actions so until he submits his sworn defence statement we don't know exactly what crime he has committed.   Embezzlement?   Theft?   Fraud?   He claims to be in finance so he is probably calculating his least probable crime. 

One of the first hypocritical PMs I got from bozo:

If you have any PMs from his alt "Rmcdermott927", take a new look now that you know who he is.  He negative trusted me by default then wanted me to explain to him what I did.   


OgNasty escrowed several deals with his alt Rmcdermott927, just like Quickseller did.

Here are more versions of what happened with the forked coins.



So the bold part explains why Theymos recently stopped trusting OG - he keeps contradicting himself.  He seems anxious to want to hold Theymos responsible for something - hopefully he can figure out what that is.  :/

That is a great observation.      I'm Satoshi's legendary boob licking son! 

I doubt anyone will fall for that amount.   Ask for $3 and you will get 10,000 more victims. 

If you read that wrong, it was intentional. 

I just noticed I have four inactive flags:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=30747;page=iflags
None of them have dates attached - should the reader assume the flag is made about the same time as the topic referenced?

Hopefully it will end with "After an investigation, Theymos was cleared of any wrong doing".  His ignoring the situation is not helping, and could lead to a criminal investigation. 

This is one of the best platforms to find clients. 

So many people are doing so, the competition is high.   You need to develop a free "feature" first to show how good you are.   

Of course if you don't want to remain anonymous, you could post any degrees or certifications you have.

Is this project dead?  I did four searches, the last one for "bitcoin price".   All of them returned:
❌ No relevant content found.

OK - what would you do?  Someone repeatedly spreads lies about you and stops you from making any money online for years, as well as destroys a number of your family relationships.   Then, when you have the proof this person has been criminally fraudulent they suddenly ignore you and refuse to take any responsibility.

I am curious - how would you handle this without the Law court?

Wow - thx muchly guys. 

Hey Campaign Managers - this is for you!

I'm looking for any historical signature rates.  If you ran a campaign, or participated in one, I'd appreciate if you could list the month/year and how many BTC you were getting per post.  You can PM if you want privacy.  I want to compare it to historical traffic to see if a Bitcointalk signature might be a cost effective way to advertise my new service. 

If the AI is converting code from one language to another, it may use the style of either language unless you are explicit.

Name	Example	Where Used
camelCase	userName	JS variables/functions, Java
PascalCase	UserName	Classes, React Components
snake_case	user_name	Python, Ruby, SQL
SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE	USER_NAME	Constants, ENV vars
kebab-case	user-name	URLs, CSS class names
Hungarian Notation	strUserName	Older C/C++/VB code
StudlyCaps	uSeRnAmE	Memes, jokes, passwords
dot.notation	user.name	Configs, object keys

* AI generated - I'm not going to take the time to format to BBCode.

Is that an error, or are you able to fix it by specifying the versions you want it to use?   Since you use VS 2019 instead of 2022, maybe it assumed the older framework was appropriate?

I switched over to chatgpt last night, and I have hope it can repair the damage DS caused.   If not, I'll restart it with chatgpt, and have high hopes (again) I can finish it quickly.

I officially agree with you.  I'm going with a chatGPT subscription, not because DS is always busy, but exactly what you described.

I was overflowing with sMerit - over 1,000.  I decided to trust Theymos and do what he suggested.  He removed me as a source.  :/
