deleted as I had that completely backwards … don’t worry if you didn’t see my blatantly backwards misinfo!

Demanding a re write of code as he didn’t back up his pvt keys. Ludicrous.

It would only just crash the value of BTC, no one would trust it anyway.
I don’t see how you could re-wrote code to access those coins. You need the private
keys - that’s the whole point.
One advantage to the Safenet taking so long to develop - there is a huge amount of documentation to show that that parasite CW is in no way part of this project and can’t make these silly claims in the future.

I don’t know enough to understand how good/bad this is. For me I guess it’s better the EU takes care of DNS, rather than the US. Just like I look forward to Galileo replacing GPS. But how bad can this “filtering” become?
You could make a special case in the core code that substitutes the original public key in the unlocking script by a hardcoded public key given by Craig Wright who knows its associated private key. Then Craig Wright has just to craft a transaction with the original public key in the unlocking script but signed by the harcoded one.
If more than 51% nodes run this code then such a transaction will be accepted in the main chain.
Note that this special case would need to remain in the code forever because all new node revalidates all past transactions.

FYI -
“Driven by protectionism and national security concerns, nations create their
own independent, regionally defined IT networks, mimicking China’s firewalls.
Governments have varying degrees of success in policing internet traffic, but
these efforts nevertheless fracture the “World Wide” Web.”

Depends on your needs. I can be good for extra protection in come cases…
But if that European ‘DNS’ would become mandatory and alternatives difficult to use, then that could be bad. That could block more sites then you want…

claims he’s the creator of Bitcoin says his private keys to £14m of Bitcoin SV were deleted by hackers in 2020
So, “satoshi” keeps his private keys on a computer. Mmmm interesting

Call me old fashioned but I’ll use this if GPS goes down!!
It’s been a while but I can still use her

That’s cool! I’ve taken two navigation courses. The term for my competence is “kustskeppare” in Swedish and “rannikkolaivuri” in Finnish, but I don’t know what it’s called in English. I actually took the courses together with my mother, but she took a third course which means she can call herself “högsjöskeppare” in Swedish. In any case, my mother learned how to use a sextant, but I never did.

Thats a compliance requirement for agencies to use quantum resistant algos
Really that is a good thing for the government to demand of the agencies.
I do believe that Safenet is already using quantum resistant encryption. A number of things have changed for the testnets, has this changed?

We may have to worry about QC sooner rather than later it seems.

What applications is it slated for. From my understanding they are more like analogue computers, quantum computers are setup to solve a task unlike normal processors that run procedural programs.
I am sure the 3 letter ABCs will be using some to decrypt those decade old communications they have stored till this day. quantum chips find the key and procedural computers do the decrypting thereafter. Wonder how long it’ll take to decode one key, let alone each key for each communications.
I wonder 99% accurate, what measure are they using 
If 99% of each brute force attempt then how often will the actual key be in the 1%. Guess its in the measure of that one % A single brute force attempt might involve 100 steps, thus never work since each step will probably fail. Only a few succeed statistically

I don’t know anything more than the paper. What is interesting is that they are going to be able to do it in silicon - which hypothetically should make mass production possible. I think that can’t be underestimated.
