.@drakefjustin: “Client diversity has saved Ethereum multiple times.” But what really stuck was: “There is a potential outcome here where it’s not quite quantum computers that break ECDSA, it’s actually AI.” “And so part of the rush… is not just to make Ethereum post-quantum secure, but it’s also to make it post-AI secure.”






After seeing an avalanche of "eat it quantum FUDsters, Bitcoin doesn't need to upgrade" it's clear no one has read the paper past the title (got to give it to @StarkWareLtd for a brilliant marketing choice). The paper is by all means, magnificent engineering , but (as it's own section 1.3 states) is a last-resort measure and not a general solution for Bitcoin safety against quantum. The risk of treating it as a panacea brings reduced urgency in working on actual protocol fix. Why? 1. $75-150 cost + ~6 hours of compute per tx. Ok for whales, not ok for stacking sats. 2. 59-bit security margin is generally considered pretty thin. 3. Locked into legacy pre-segwit script execution when most of the industry has moved on. 4. As a second order effect creates an easily identifiable class of Q-safe coins, which undermines fungibility. And (obviously out of scope) does not solve the Satoshi coins vulnerability.
