@kostascrypto I think they're safe too, but luckily @toly went straight for 32-byte addresses from day one 🫡

@PospisilAdam true, but not sure about 160bit hashes that BTC and ETH are using
English

@kostascrypto Don't you think that Grover will remain infeasible "forever"? At least for 256-bit hashes.

you will soon see hashi moving institutional bitcoin into DeFi at a scale that wasn't possible before
and this will be one of THE MOST IMPACTFUL protocol launches crypto sees this year

@KMkakos @bballmaniacs_ Άσχετο με το τι έγινε αν είσαι ο πρώτος που αγγίζει τη μπάλα ενώ επέστρεψες από out-of-bounds χωρίς να την έχει αγγίξει άλλος είναι παράβαση.

pretty cool concept
$SUI creating its own prediction market but more degen
bet on any asset at any price with leverage
seems to be launching soon, waitlist is already live

$0. That would be the cost of moving millions on Sui.
At Sui Live, @EmanAbio laid out a vision where money moves as freely as messages. Payments truly free for anyone, anywhere.
Sui is architected to support free multi-stablecoin transfers at any scale. Mainnet imminent.

@sufialhussaini There were quite a few success stories? Like winning the global Bybit Hackathon, the first blockchain program in AUS (American Uni of Sharjah) and quite a few more. Ofc this year is different due to war dynamics

@kostascrypto This was in my bookmarks. I wonder what became of it?

I’m creating a modern cryptography and AI innovation hub in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Will try to occasionally invite big names in the field, but the aim is to intellectually grow the whole UAE community with deep tech edu and brainstorming meetups. So deep that some hackathons will run non stop 24/7 for a whole week, with support from local hotel and office-desk owners for accommodation.
My goal is to gradually advance the whole MENA region in a unique tech excellence level + see technologically competitive startups to emerge.
There is already a plan to publish some unique ideas around ZKP, MPC, FHE, Differential Privacy, Web3 UX, Anon Credentials, AI on chain, AI for audits, DePIN data compression and parallelisation, Novel Key Management, Identity, Voting and Verifiable Execution.
The other benefit is access and connections to Bay Area and EU hubs, which we’ll try to activate based on our network and boots on the ground.
It’s a big project. Hopefully with some local help, in the future we could also economically support selected research ideas relocating to the region.

FYI, my two kidneys, my girlfriend, my car, my house and my life are in @kostascrypto hands
Prove me wrong

English

@zchat_app true but the influence on the cryptography future from ideas published in these conferences doesn't have a competitor historically
English

@kostascrypto the gap between what gets published at the top cryptography conference and what ships in production wallets is where most privacy vulnerabilities live

Fabulous news: that novel batch threshold encryption algorithm from Stanford, Mysten, and Andreessen Horowitz has been accepted to Crypto 2026
Congrats 🎉 to Sui’s cryptographer @arnabr0x … looking forward for its cool applications.
Kostas Kryptos@kostascrypto
The Stanford, a16z, Mysten & Sui code for batch threshold encryption from partial fractions is now public: github.com/entrohpy/batch… The paper is also updated with shorter ciphertexts: eprint.iacr.org/2026/674.pdf

@bugatsinho Hehe not really sponsoring yet, just helping with tech
English

@kostascrypto Congrats guys!
Are you willing to sponsor another greek football team, maybe I have one in mind
English

Sui’s soccer team, Ierissos, just mathematically locked the Greece Chalkidiki A Division title, undefeated and officially promoted to A1, one step before entering the professional division!
Pretty wild seeing a data science–driven approach, powered by Sui + Walrus, actually worked. Cameras + IoT sensors + trained models with shared AI memory! Love it, a new crypto paradigm in sports!
Huge congrats 🎉

@poelzi I know how they work and their 5x efficiency. I mentioned on purpose electric heaters who are essentially the same and still used across the planet
English

@kostascrypto Headpump has COP of easy 4-7x. Combined with water based earth ground coupling - see tech increedience video, heat/cooling gets much cheaper. There are good places for btc mining, stabilizing microgrids for example.
English

your opinion?
Pure electric heating (resistance heaters, boilers, etc.) uses far more electricity globally than the whole Bitcoin mining industry, probably ~20X+ more, in some regions a lot more. Technically (with a few reasonable assumptions) both convert electricity to heat at ~100% efficiency. Electric heating is vastly larger and almost never questioned.
All of this electric heating is 100% thermodynamically waste heat w/ no secondary output
… whereas Bitcoin mining (if used properly) has at least 3 uses:
- also ~100% heat
- produces digital value (BTC) and
- offers an automated global, decentralized notary service.
Obviously, mining hardware is more expensive than plain electric heaters, but wondering why don’t we make it mandatory to provably reuse the heat across miners, so nobody complains anymore? Not fully practical, but ethical eh? How could we solve that? Is it even solvable or like carbon credits it’s hackable and impossible to track accurately?
