My latest talk, on the threat of quantum computing advancements to Bitcoin, is now available.

Key takeaway: one way or another, whether we do something or do nothing, inviolable properties of Bitcoin will eventually be violated.

Thank you for sharing🙏

Extremely interesting topic and well put together presentation. Unfortunately, as with all challenges worth discussing, there are no easy answers. But I'm damn thankful to have people like you sounding the horn.

Very disturbing

All inviolable properties can be raised to the quatum level. Like quantum encryption. And then they again become inviolable

isn't the threat very minimal with hashed addresses where the address is only revealed to spend?

Good informative talk, thanks for sharing 🦾

What would you do, Jameson?

Proof of maths required.

Satoshi won't likely be around to upgrade his keys. Same with all the other lost coins.

If you were the first to have a QC capable of hacking satoshi’s stash wouldn’t the play be to move it into a QC resistant address and sit on it ? How could anyone know for sure it wasn’t satoshi that moved it out of caution ?
