Recent research suggests a quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key from its public key in as little as 9 minutes. $BTC block time is 10 minutes. This creates a real attack vector & DigiByte's 15-second blocks offer a natural defense. Let me explain. First you need to understand how public keys and addresses actually work because most people conflate them. When you create a wallet you generate a private key and a public key. Your wallet address is NOT your public key. Your address is a hash of your public key. Hashing is a one-way function. If someone only knows your address they cannot reverse-engineer your public key from it. A quantum computer can't do anything with just an address. It needs the actual public key. So when is your public key exposed? When you spend. To prove you own the funds you must sign the transaction with your private key and include your full public key so the network can verify that signature. Before you spend your public key is hidden behind the address hash. The moment you broadcast a transaction your full public key is visible to every node on the network. This is where the mempool matters. The mempool is the waiting room for unconfirmed transactions. When you hit send your transaction doesn't go straight into a block. It sits in the mempool waiting for a miner to include it. On Bitcoin that wait averages about 10 minutes and often much longer during high traffic. Here is the attack. An attacker monitors the mempool. They see your unconfirmed transaction and grab your now-exposed public key. They feed it to a quantum computer which derives your private key in approximately 9 minutes. Your Bitcoin transaction still hasn't confirmed. The attacker now holds your private key. They create a new competing transaction that sends your funds to their own wallet with a higher fee. Miners select the higher-fee transaction. Your coins are stolen before your original transaction ever makes it into a block. This works because there is a gap between when your public key becomes visible and when your transaction is safely confirmed. On Bitcoin that gap is about 10 minutes. The quantum crack takes 9. The attacker wins the race. Both Bitcoin and DigiByte use the exact same cryptography — ECDSA on the secp256k1 curve. The quantum vulnerability in the math is identical. The difference is the confirmation window. DigiByte confirms transactions in 15 seconds. The same attacker sees your transaction, grabs your public key, and starts their quantum computer. Fifteen seconds later your transaction is confirmed in a block. After 9 minutes when the quantum computer finally finishes, your transaction is already buried under roughly 36 confirmations. The attack window closed before it could be exploited. Same cryptography. Same quantum threat. Completely different outcome because of block speed. To be clear no blockchain is fully quantum-proof yet. Both Bitcoin and DigiByte will eventually need to adopt post-quantum signature schemes. But the most practical near-term quantum attack — intercepting exposed public keys in the mempool and racing to crack them before confirmation — does not work when blocks confirm in 15 seconds. The math simply isn't on the attacker's side. We designed DigiByte in 2014 with 15-second blocks for fast payments. It turns out speed is also a security layer. Forty times faster than Bitcoin means forty times less exposure to quantum attacks on the mempool. 🤯🚀 $DGB

What if DigiByte miners could power AI agents & #DigiSwarm models that build, expand & improve the $DGB blockchain itself?🚀 Every proof-of-work blockchain on Earth burns massive amounts of electricity on computations that produce absolutely nothing useful. The math puzzles miners solve exist only to prove they did work… then the actual output is thrown away. Bitcoin alone uses more electricity than most countries, and every watt of it vanishes into heat. But what if that same GPU power was running real artificial intelligence instead? What if instead of grinding through trillions of meaningless hash calculations, your mining rig was finding bugs, writing tests, reviewing code, and actively making the blockchain better? and still earning block rewards for doing it? That's the idea I am proposing behind “Proof of Inference:” replace 1 of DigiByte's 5 mining algorithms with an AI inference algorithm where the "work" produces genuine value. DigiByte is the only blockchain that can actually attempt this safely, and here's why. We have 5 independent mining algorithms: SHA-256, Scrypt, Skein, Qubit, and Odocrypt. Each mining roughly 20% of all blocks with independent difficulty adjustment. No other chain has this. That means we can swap one algorithm for an AI-powered mining algorithm while the other four continue providing battle-tested proof-of-work security exactly as they do today. 80% of the network stays on proven, traditional mining. The fifth slot becomes the frontier. If anything goes wrong with the experimental algorithm, the chain doesn't skip a beat. Bitcoin and Litecoin can't try this they only have one algorithm, and experimenting with it risks everything. DigiByte's multi-algo architecture, originally designed for security through diversity, turns out to be the perfect sandbox for the most radical innovation in mining since proof-of-work was invented. Here's where it gets wild. The AI work miners perform wouldn't be random tasks for some external marketplace. It would power what we're calling the DigiSwarm — AI coding agents that work on the DigiByte codebase itself. Miners run AI models that find bugs, write unit tests, generate documentation, review pull requests, and flag security vulnerabilities in DigiByte's own code. The blockchain literally pays miners to make itself better. And that creates a feedback loop unlike anything in crypto: miners earn DGB for running AI agents, the agents improve DigiByte, a better DigiByte becomes more valuable, higher value attracts more miners, more miners means more AI capacity, more AI capacity means faster improvement. The blockchain evolves itself. It's a self-sustaining, self-improving organism. No other cryptocurrency has ever attempted this because no other cryptocurrency has the architecture to make it safe. The technology to make this real either exists today or is on a 2-4 year horizon. Deterministic AI inference making sure every miner running the same model gets the exact same output was demonstrated in production in January 2026. Zero-knowledge proofs for AI models just hit 43-second proof generation times with 23-millisecond verification, which fits inside DigiByte's 75-second per-algorithm block window. AI coding agents are already solving real software engineering tasks at rates that improve every month. The GPU hardware that mines DigiByte's algorithms today is the same hardware that runs AI inference at scale. CoreWeave literally pivoted from a crypto mining company to a $43 billion AI infrastructure company using the same GPUs. The pieces are falling into place. This isn't science fiction. It's engineering. Four algorithms secure the chain through mathematical hardness. The fifth “Proof of of Inference” PoI secures it by making it better. This can be the future of DigiByte mining and no other blockchain on Earth can do it quite like $DGB could. 🚀

Google and Nvidia are now setting 2029 deadlines for quantum-safe encryption. Q-Day is no longer theoretical. $DGB runs 5 mining algorithms simultaneously — if one is broken by quantum compute, the other 4 keep the chain intact. Multi-algo isn't a gimmick. It's the quantum hedge.

What a lovely surprise this morning! ☀️Independent detections of similar transients in European plate archives — exactly the kind of cross-validation this field needs. So it’s not just Palomar anymore. The study was carried out by a retired NASA scientist. This is how a signal begins to emerge from the noise. arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20407

@dennis_asberg Svensken är ju generellt sett ganska obrydd när det kommer till saker som är lite "out there...". -"Njaa.... vi tar det isåfall när det blivit annonserat och 100% klart."

Phuket International Airport has been temporarily closed following a landing incident involving Air India Express flight IX938. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 (Reg: VT-BWQ) from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport reportedly suffered a nose wheel failure on landing, leaving the aircraft stranded on the runway and forcing the airport to suspend operations.

Why is it, that when motorbike dealerships sell their own brand, "it's the best", but when they sell other brands they part traded in, those brands are also "great, lovely, awesome, one of a kind, highly sought after, superb" and so on?? @MCNnews @bennetts_bike #motorcycle
