Over the next few months I'll publish a series of essays exploring Bitcoin + quantum issues, such as: * Quantum Attack Game Theory * Governance & Security Precedents * Quantum Resistant Rescue Research Subscribe here to ensure you don't miss them! https://blog.lopp.net/#/portal/signup

The 0-days will accelerate until everyone fixes their shit.

I filed a support ticket 12 hours ago for someone to check but have yet to hear back. 😬

Now that you're earning income we gotta tax it!

Neither the Stzorc fork nor the Knotzi fork have sufficient economic weight interested in buying those tokens so there's no way it's worth the risk to your BTC even trying to split them safely in order to sell.

Some have suggested I throw my hat in the ring for BIP Editor. I dunno. Seems like a really high work-to-controversy ratio. I prefer maximum controversy with minimal effort.

That feeling when you update the OS on a server you haven't touched in several years, reboot it, and... it doesn't come back up.

But he did HUNDREDS OF HOURS of research! 😬

You just don't understand how easy it is to spool up Sybil nodes.

There are certainly some untrustworthy password managers, but that's a terrible excuse to write off an entire class of security tooling.

If you're asking yourself "should I buy $STRC?" then you should be asking yourself "would I lend money to a trusted friend at 11% interest so that they could use that money to buy BTC?"

Just had someone tell me with a straight face that they don't use a password manager because they don't trust them. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I can only assume you haven't read the BIP. There is no timeline proposed nor are there activation parameters proposed. It's the initial draft of a contingency plan that still needs plenty of R&D.

Nope. Nobody is going to seriously suggest doing it unless an existential crisis is looming and the incentives are aligned for success.

It's pretty unlikely that there would be a chain split since it's a soft fork. And even if there was, without replay protection it would be incredibly difficult to do safely.

Today's New York Times "expose" of Adam Back being Satoshi Nakamoto is bunk, just more bullshit stylometric analysis and circumstantial evidence. A much better investigative documentary will be released in a couple weeks.

Nah just fake nodes shutting down.

Easy come, easy go! 🙂

Some of them will certainly be surprised, but I don't think they'll allow failure to stop them from continuing to wail and flail.

1 year ago today opened a pull request to relax relay restrictions on transactions with OP_RETURN outputs. Little did he know that this would trigger a sequence of events leading to a puritanical fork of Bitcoin. 🙃
