Handyman engineer. I bounce from project to project. I'm often called in to do the finishing touches, bringing 90% complete projects over the finish line. I'm good at making disparate systems talk to each other. * Zaps powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsf07zg4hxyccnkdp07fppxmetpfzru3fg6mgzx3nk8r7af8qnjjyg76vulm * On-chain powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsvxq03xdev3uxehjqcdkr5lfzl5vawmcf7vm6ps73m6ghwg8y4k2shaefxp *Always Buy the Dip* #privacy #security #linux #Android #networkengineer #infosec #SimpleX #dogs #cats #pets #cooking

I'm using an external wallet connected via NWC right now.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Amethyst is go-to client and I love it. With a few minor exceptions, everything works, and once you understand how the various types of relays work, and the outbox model, it's pretty intuitive. I'd like to understand what the specific problems are. Because my experience has been great.

That was one of my favorite shows as a kid. The Trash Heap with those two rats were the best. 😂

Doozers! I haven't heard a Fraggle Rock reference in a looooooong time! You must be an old bastard like me.

That's a convenient way to dismiss information you don't agree with. Do you have any evidence that the study I provided on how to go about upgrading the blockchain encryption is tainted, or flawed, or in some way inaccurate as a result of some alleged thirst for funding? This study didn't even make any predictions. It was just a study on methods to upgrade the blockchain

Lol you don't know me or the basis of my information. So stop pretending you do. My degrees and professional experience give me a solid basis to evaluate technology claims, and see what's coming with regards to quantum computing. And my participation with Bitcoin since 2011 gives me an extensive understanding of the blockchain and its encryption.

My entire point is that a time is coming when quantum computing will pose an existential threat to the blockchain, and we would be wise to start planning now for the task of upgrading the blockchain's encryption. Any other response is irresponsible, and potentially puts the entire Bitcoin ecosystem in jeopardy. The specific time line is irrelevant, as are any comparisons to other unrelated technologies.

That's irrelevant. The point is that a time is coming when quantum computing will pose an existential threat to the blockchain, and so the only smart response is to start planning how to upgrade the blockchain's encryption now. Because the more time we have to devise a solution, the better and more smoothly that upgrade will be.

We just saw a demonstration of Google's newest quantum processor. It solved a benchmark equation that would take our fastest binary computers 10 septillion years to solve (longer than the age of the universe) in 5 minutes. Do you really not anticipate the progress that will be made in 5-10years, as quantum computers become commercially available? And once they're commercially available, they can be used for nefarious purposes by nation-states as well as private buyers. The time when these machines are potentially available to bad actors is coming.

You want to bet on that? You want to bet the security of the blockchain based on the timing of a completely different technology? I think that's wildly irresponsible. You can't say the warnings about the progress of quantum computing are bogus based on the development of cold fusion. That's just irrational. And quantum computing has a significant better established track record, and demonstration of progress than cold fusion. One has nothing to do with the other.

It would be the height of irresponsibility to just put our heads in the sand and hope for the best. Whether it's 5 years, or 10 years, the future is clear. It's coming. A plan to upgrade the blockchain with quantum resistant encryption is the only responsible course of action. We can't afford to just cross our fingers and hope.

I was talking about this last week when the news about Google's quantum computer was making the rounds. Research physicists who study the progress of quantum computers are now warning that we are 5-10 years away from commercial quantum computers that can break the encryption holding the blockchain together.

"We are about five years away from commercial quantum computers being able to break the elliptic curve keys that secure #Bitcoin wallets,” said Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers, a scientist-in-residence at the University of Calgary

This is real issue that we need to start addressing now. Because if the blockchain's encryption is no longer secure, the entire Bitcoin ecosystem is going to fail. Quantum resistance needs to be planned, and applied to the blockchain through a comprehensive update strategy. Such a strategy may hurt temporarily, but the alternative is to kiss Bitcoin goodbye.

Having success with https://yakihonne.com/ when I use NWC via the Alby chrome extension!

In my experience, the Alby browser extension isn't great for signing with your nostr keys. I suggest deactivating the Alby extension in your browser, and using Nos2x, which is excellent and always works.
