my whole feed today is trump war speech, this or that contradictory iranian statement, drift hack and USDC exfil, canton vs permissionless chains, quantum attacks, and debates over whether nic carter is untrustworthy because he puts his money where his mouth is 🤔

i have decided to leave the financial services industry and become a full time coloradan i plan to work as a liftie in the winters and give vegan songbird tours via bamboo kayak in the summers

Once again, the same firms running super-duper validators on opaque enterprise databases with proof of handshake consensus are trying to kill real DeFi in Washington. But you bought into their support of "DLT" because they wore a nice suit and sponsored coffee at a conference anon? twitter.com/malekanoms/status/...

SIFMA waving “technology neutral” yet again as a way to create unenforceable prohibitions and unworkable registration reqs on truly decentralized protocols here again are the big banks and brokerages attacking this SEC’s work on crypto while also building it themselves 🙄

> logical qubits > minutes to execute no indication of quality, fidelity, etc could still take months to find even one key, Shor's is always probablistic even in the best case we should be prudent and careful but never give into fear

New Google paper: Shor’s algorithm compiled to 1,200 logical qubits + 70M Toffoli gates breaks ECDLP-256. <500K physical qubits. Minutes to execute. Every ECC-based chain is now on a hard deadline. https://research.google/blog/safeguarding-cryptocurrency-by-disclosing-quantum-vulnerabilities-responsibly/…
