Prioritize PQ‑safe Outputs and Signatures Now, Defer Other Fixes
Follow up on Bitcoin and Quantum: A proposed roadmap. https://t.co/QoOrvnxeOe tl;dr: we should work towards activating a PQ-safe output type with PQ signatures now. everything else (including escape hatches, zk proofs, commit/reveal, to freeze or not) can, and should, wait.
Isogeny Crypto Offers Long-Term Post‑Quantum Bitcoin Solution
This is a good high-level call to action in a post by @conduition_io on isogeny-based cryptography It comes after a fair amount of detail and math, but you can skip past that part if you're just interested in what could...
Stablecoins Aren’t Bearer Instruments; Issuer Controls Ownership Records
a stablecoin is in no way a bearer instrument ownership records are kept in a smart contract completely controlled by the issuer i'm not sure where this idea came from, but it's not helpful when thinking about regulation or responsibility.
Prioritize Post‑Quantum Signatures for Bitcoin Now
My take on Bitcoin and quantum computing: https://t.co/bq2HdAsnXQ tl;dr: I think the risk is high enough to warrant prioritizing designing, implementing, and evaluating post-quantum signature schemes and consensus upgrades in Bitcoin now.
Stablecoin Risks Rise as Blockchains Gain Systemic Role
GENIUS leaves a lot unspecified. In particular, we think people are underestimating the risks of decentralized blockchains as novel financial infrastructure. All blockchains are not created equal: Did you know the majority of stablecoin transactions are currently happening on Binance...
