LARGEST QUANTUM ATTACK ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY TO DATE
Project Eleven awarded its 1 BTC “Q-Day Prize” to Giancarlo Lelli for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a public quantum comput...
Wait so this is basically a quantum computer guessing and we’re like okay cool that’s a hack 😄
15 bits is literally just luck not breaking ECC
So the real question is where is the quantum advantage and where is it just very expensive randomness
And if they start guessing consistently then this isn’t about crypto anymore it’s about randomness and the nature of reality itself 👀
