@Joe Nakamoto For me, one of the biggest lessons about Bitcoin was learning how to answer what is money? (in economic sciences) and how does information flow? (in computer science).

thanks you and I don’t know tbh. I know nothing about Freemasons!

Here’s a grammatically corrected version that keeps your intended meaning and tone:

I would buy your products if your PR and marketing used fewer buzzwords and were more grounded in real science. I believe most Blockstream customers aren’t shitcoiners, and they know how far quantum computers are from even factoring a number as simple as 7 × 3.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this project seems to be an open-source collaboration platform like Slack or Microsoft Teams, designed for humans and AI agents to work together in a virtual room.

It recalls the goal of Google's Open Knowledge Format (OKF) to make documents easy to understand, fostering synergy between humans and machines. So I would suggest adopting OKF. It is a streamlined, accessible format that aligns with our current objectives.

Yeah. Yet another slack clone. It's not that I'm again, decentralization is good. But it's not like a revolutionary idea

post a (small) Lightning invoice in the comments & see what happens https://blossom.primal.net/35b528b41ba17ce10cd7ce2a3232ca8ccef0fe1a5d82f0614119df424261c4f0.mov

Quantum is a good buzzword, used by everyone from New Age gurus to scientists looking for research grants even when that research goes nowhere, like string theory.

The reality for the Bitcoin community is that concerns about asymmetric cryptography being broken are overblown. Such a computer does not exist and probably won’t for the next 100 years.

The practical record for Shor’s algorithm on real quantum hardware is still factoring 21 (3 × 7). We are still enormously far from factoring RSA-2048 keys. Cracking an RSA key exists mostly in science fiction and as a remote theoretical possibility in mathematicians’ papers.

Ps. Nice explanation from YouTube UK channel Computerphile ..

Bitcoin is quantum capable....or is it the other way around 🤔

Recently, I compared hardware obsolescence in Warehouse-Scale Computers (WSCs) to Bitcoin mining. On the mining side, rather than bloating the blockchain with data-heavy transactions (such as Ordinals, Inscriptions, and complex scripts) to artificially drive up fee revenue, miners should focus on how Proof of Work (PoW) can act as a flexible load to support energy grid sustainability. Furthermore, mining operations need better lifecycle management, such as proactively planning to decommission and liquidate aging ASICs ahead of halving-induced revenue shocks, an economic pressure that will likely drive the industry toward greater decentralization.

At the same time, the broader tech industry can learn a valuable lesson from this Bitcoin ASIC economic model. WSCs are currently investing heavily in highly specialized AI accelerators designed exclusively for the matrix math behind Large Language Models (LLMs). However, due to rapid 'workload churn', if AI shifts to a new computational paradigm tomorrow, this hyper-specialized hardware faces the exact same risk of sudden obsolescence as an aging Bitcoin mining farm.
