@punctured_LZ Urgency; not panic.

TL;DR: Bitcoin and Ethereum are NOT broken. But the threat timeline just got shorter. Why it's NOT a reason to panic: • No such quantum computer exists today: current machines have thousands of qubits, not hundreds of thousands • The engineering gap between today's hardware and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer remains enormous • They didn't even publish the actual circuits, just a ZK proof that the circuits exist. If Bitcoin were already broken, they'd have shown it directly. Why it IS worth paying attention to: • This is the most credible, rigorously substantiated resource estimate to date, from a top quantum team • The responsible disclosure angle is novel, they used a Groth16 ZK proof to validate results without leaking attack details • The window for orderly PQC migration exists but is narrowing • Some chains (Algorand, QRL, Abelian) are already deploying PQC in production

@lfdecentralized @blockskunk Full research upate from @GoogleResearch - research.google/blog/safeguard…

@GoogleResearch just moved the quantum threat timeline closer. Breaking 256-bit elliptic curve crypto, the foundation of internet now requires ~20x fewer resources than previously estimated. Every security roadmap built on the old numbers is now outdated.

Right!!

This new paper from Google & Stanford is a paradigm shift in both substance (prior resource estimates for Shor's algorithm for ECDLP shattered) and tone (blockchains must urgently migrate starting NOW). Let's break it down👇 /0

@nic_carter @based16z just have to say the bad news in a good way - the btc core devs have something new to argue about now and can prioritize fixing this.

@based16z the craziest thing is that the Google paper wasn't even the scariest ECC quantum break paper released _that day_ x.com/projecteleven/…

Bought tails on possible virality here

Many are wondering "what Google saw" that caused them to revise their post-quantum cryptography transition deadline to 2029 last week. It was this: research.google/blog/safeguard…

@lfdecentralized @blockskunk Full @a16zcrypto article on privacy as a moat: a16zcrypto.com/posts/podcast/…

@GoogleQuantumAI @UCBerkeley @ethereumfndn @drakefjustin @Stanford @danboneh Read the full paper. Seriously. research.google/blog/safeguard…

📍Here is the scariest development📍 We thought quantum attacks could take months, meaning transactions were safe and only 1/3 of BTC were at risk. Now a quantum computer could crack private keys in 9 mins. Bitcoin’s avg block time is 10 mins. Mempool attacks just became real.

🚨 Google has sounded the quantum alarm 🚨 Today, they released groundbreaking progress towards breaking crypto using a quantum computer. TLDR - Existing cryptography is dead. Mempool attacks are real. We must migrate to post-quantum now. Thread 🧵

@craigzLiszt yes and prompt and knowledge base data for acceas via git cli works great

every vibe coder needs to understand git. no excuses

there is not enough caffeine in the world for what I'm about to do the next few days.
