This is the edge of what is possible. With quantum computing, seconds to crack longer pass phrases. The disparity between personal and corporate/agency computing power is a credible risk to personal security. Not your keys, not your coins. #Bitcoin

“My USB stick had reached Unciphered’s lab on Tuesday, and I was somewhat surprised to see my three-word passphrase texted back to me the very next morning. With the help of a high-performance computer, Smith told me, the process had taken only 200 trillion tries.” ~Wired

There is simply no way that moving to random now would make quantum computing, since the bit requirements state that it cannot be random, unless going all and boilers.

Crackheads don’t work for that.

Randomness and fraudulent.
