Genome Sequencing Drops From Billions to Kitchen‑table Affordability
Human genome sequencing: 2003: $3,000,000,000 global effort years of research 2026: your kitchen table a few hundred $ Hard not to be excited for the future. https://t.co/0U5bXsHwt6 https://t.co/0U5bXsHwt6
Quantum‑Safe Bitcoin Upgrade Likely a Mess
Spreading (and believing) nonsense is why the upgrade to a quantum-safe Bitcoin will highly likely be a big mess (if it even happens).
Secp256k1 Might Be Cracked Within a Decade
@xyzdkfe Experts estimate that breaking RSA-2048 in 24h is 15–30 years away. secp256k1 should be easier to break, and there’s no 24h (or any other) time constraint for exposed Bitcoin pubkeys. With this in mind, when do you think this could happen?...
Secp256k1 Could Be Broken Within the Next Decade.
@Travis_Sch @pauli_group @evolutionQinc In the report you shared, experts estimate that breaking RSA-2048 in 24h is 15–30 years away. secp256k1 should be easier to break, and there’s no 24h (or any other) time constraint for exposed Bitcoin pubkeys. With this in mind,...
Bitcoin’s Programmed Issuance Outperforms Fiat’s Government‑controlled Printing
1. Fiat currencies are not fake, obviously. Their weakness is that governments control issuance, and issuance is often quite high as a result. 2. Advantage of BTC is that issuance is programmed + decentralized, thus immutable. Energy, i.e. PoW is not...
