Would need more info on the paper and methods here.

If they asked them to deliberately think of the image. Also the resolution of this for extracting the words or location of the seeds.

It would have to be a pretty big stack and honestly would provably be better accomplished with a $10 wrench attack.

The solution to this is for Bitcoiners to become the intransigent minority and for incentives here to not make sense.

Just my 2 sats…

It will not be a problem for most people and best practices will emerge, but it's certainly possible to envision a future in which there are violent gangs that go around extracting people and using advanced exfiltration techniques. There is no true "secure enclave" in biological systems.

Low fidelity now, but it's not about what is possible now. It's about what it can do in 10-20 years. Now also consider how much the technology could advance if you add another 30 years of technological progress well after the death of fiat.

#[4] new problems for you to solve with miniscript ;)

Oh, yeah, and in terms of thinking about the specific image, there are probably ways to repeatedly flash words or locations and take a Y/N approach to partition information that is well structured in your mind... this could become a threat to privacy in general.

I agree it’s unsettling that the last hold out of personal “space” in your head might be ripe for extraction. This goes beyond Bitcoin (see: unapproved thoughts comrade).

I’ll keep an eye out on any news on the paper itself. It could have some very clunky setups and preconditions in the experiment that may not be practical.
