I feel a need to post a spoon - I suppose this is my daily bump

Mute/Ignore exist for a reason. Report posts that break the rules.

Giving users the ability to censor other users is just gonna lead to abuse.

If you _really_ want to censor a user, just mass report them from multiple accounts. That'd nearly force the moderator's hand at removing the "community breaking" post.

People will be able to take your coins in your cold wallet via just reading the public ledger and seeing a balance. They'll dump from your private key with the right code and enough qubits.

I'm _pretty_ sure we already have the qubits, it's the code we're lacking [unless you're a 3 letter agency].

There's a reason we see this cryptography being rolled in the wild.

When the genesis key gets dumped, how much value is there in the useless coins?

By forking _new_ we can have people _safely_ move their coins to another in a fair and equitable manner.

Technically, we could just outlaw stealing keys, but that'd totally not work >.<


Mind you:

Not all attacks are small improvements. It’s possible that improvements in cryptanalysis break all security levels at once.

Assuming that hashing is broken before key generation is a bit foolish as a whole.

Double spending to attack a chain's security is different intent than attacking a chain for wealth manipulation.

Hm. TLS 1.3 exist. Already engaging in quantum-resistant connections _in the wild_.

You do realize that if the keys are broken, it doesn't matter _how_ much you mine... when addresses are compromised via quantum computers, theft of coins seem feasible.

So you'd have to question any coins transmitted on the broken network post-fork 

ECC was around for a decade before bitcoin came on swinging. I'd be curious to see if we can push quantum resistance within 3-5 years. With hard-fork date [old txn cut off entirely within 7 years].

Several comments that missed the point.

It's interesting how ECC was popularized by bitcoin even though it was fairly novel as a cipher back in the hayday.

The team was fairly small the built the first bitcoin, but forking from old system to new system is quite a challenge, because eventually addresses will be cracked.

I suppose I'm allowed a daily bump of this very busy topic.

You'd think society's response to cryptocurrency fraud would be more than silence in a cryptocurrency community.

Guess not.

Any input? https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/100980/why-did-nist-select-kyber-and-dilithium

pos ensures network stalls eventually, as all the stakeholders die and their kin give zero fucks other than money which isn't the purpose


if we wanted to move to lower energy, we could do proof of capacity or proof of spacetime, but I'd rather just convert electricity to heat and entropy for now, I guess.

Preferably in the comfort of my own home [at least for a while].

Take back mining for a while until they build new ASICs. Probably do software for CPU/GPU if feasible before ASIC preferably please.

No.

I like wires. Wires mean infinite power. Portable energy is the absolute bane of my existence.

I could imagine a briefcase that opens and origami unfolds 3 monitors - the problem isn't the motherboard, the screens, or even input devices... hell, if we wanted, we could attach a little thermal printer just because!

The problem is our energy. Aiming for performance per watt, which means tuning to application.

Bypassing the PSU with battery and going directly DC into your components could save some energy. This might be a fun side project to mess around with an old mobo and some lithium-ion batteries. Still need inverter for monitor afaik.

I really wish fuel cell technology were more available because this is a nearly perfect use-case.

Making law extend to make digital monies is just apply wire codes too.

Musk is a bad person.

He deserves prison time.


For example, this is just *one* incident where he broke the law for profit;

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/judge-rules-musks-tweets-over-taking-tesla-private-were-false-investors-say-2022-04-16/

In this instance, I think he should be fined 420.69 million and spend a week in jail.

Orbital bombardment ensures target is neutralized. 

We need to march to washington dc and occupy congress halls until these smoke detectors and banned...

If that doesn't work, then we need to just drive all our cars and trucks and  whatnot to downtown DC and honk all night and day... that'll show big phire who they're messing with... yeah

and the best part is its our right to annoy other people if we have a grievance about how others choose to run their lives

Say you had a terminal illness, like cancer or some incurable thing where you will die in a couple months

A bad nation state entity offers $50,000 for each each person you kill in a mass shooting

They provide you tools, training, and escrowed plenty of money for this event... the next of kin will receive the money through secret transactions

The January 6th coup attempt was rather... quick.

In the course of a few hours, we could have changed timelines quite dramatically...

If they had managed to get the gun into the room with the room filled with representatives and only execute less than 10 members of congress; Trump would be president today.

The next coup attempt will be more successful as they learned what they can get away with during this attempt.
