The one and only. BTC. XMR. Freedom maxi. Say no to CBDCs and digital ID. #FreeRoss #McAfeeDidntKillHimself

Best UK/EU retailer for a Pi Zero 1.3 (without wireless) for a Seed Signer?

Or blake3 that'd be my pick.

But absolutely there's no reason to rationally expect SHA-256 will suddenly break, there will be plenty of time to transition to a new hash function.

To be fair, in this hypothetical, if SHA-256 had indeed been broken, the difficulty wouldn't matter because the underlying cryptography keeping Bitcoin secure would itself be vulnerable.

However this won't happen out of nowhere from quantum computers. When a hash function is close to breaking there will be research leading up to the final crack.

There will be plenty of time to transition to a more secure alternative. Satoshi himself discussed this.

Current quantum computing is very primitive and highly experimental.

It is a good thing to use modern cryptographic curves that are objectively harder to break (e.g. Curve25519 over RSA) but this idea quantum computers could destroy Bitcoin any minute is total bullshit.

In case anyone is in doubt: it's possible quantum computing could break common cryptographic cyphers in the future, but it's still entirely hypothetical.

Anyone telling you there's an immanent threat to Bitcoin because of this theoretical vaporware is either uninformed or deliberately spreading FUD.

Cool #Damus feature showing who else follows someone from your follows. Would love to see the same on #Amethyst.

From the official global retailer, it comes through a Chinese site, takes roughly a month to ship but it means you pay £170 not £350.

Super bullish for society that tradfi acting as a social credit system leads to this…

A billion wiped from the stonk price even after apologising… good! 😂

You def contributed to the thread and it was appreciated!

I'd still be interested to have this discussion on Nests at some point too 👌

Imagine what this will look like in another 5-10 years...

Had it for a while, used it to fuck with some Teslas the other day haha

Lmao no thanks I got zaps
