Surmount Systems might be one of the few sites this tool has been used on that supports PQC and doesn't use either CloudFlare or nginx
We took the time to build our own stack, and this is just the beginning

The pace of progress on quantum LDPC codes from code construction to decoders and architecture is absolutely incredible and all these improvements add up. I love to see that kind of thing.

The Sovereign Assembly may be over, but Bitcoin Party KC isn’t.
If you came out, enjoyed the conversations, met some good people, and want to be part of more of what we’re building in Kansas City, we’d love to have you as a member.

I don't agree to shit. I am doing the work to prove you retards wrong.
You'll see. You'll all see. One day!
There will be a reckoning and it will be righteous!
The deceivers will be held to account for their actions!!
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice.
Make no peace with evil.

Our email systems should be back online, and we're slowly but surely migrating all our sites and such to a highly values-aligned, Bitcoin-only VPS provider, @SHCompute
There's much more to come so watch this space!

A huge THANK YOU to @SurmountSystems for sponsoring the bbq at Sovereign Assembly! 🙏
Surmount is doing important work around high assurance computing, Bitcoin infrastructure, and cryptographic protocols, and their support helps us bring the Kansas City Bitcoin community together

Closed-source critical bitcoin software projects (yes they exist) are not immune from serious security review.
AI + decompilers cut through like butter.
Interesting initial findings. Stock Bitmain firmware currently requires less trust than common aftermarket firmwares.
Responsible disclosure underway!
As a reminder, we do advocate for building in the open! It improves the ecosystem for all.
~90% of ASICs run one vendor's closed-source firmware. Almost nobody has audited it.
We at @256FOUNDATION do.
Introducing the 256 Red Team 🧵 — the 256 Foundation's firmware security program. On hardware we own, in an isolated lab, under coordinated disclosure.

I am planning to travel to only two more events this year. There is important work to do, and not much time to do it.
First, I will be giving a talk in Kansas City on 9/5:
bitcoinpartykc.com/shop/p/so…
Use discount code LOWTIMEPREF for a hefty discount!
🚨Kansas City, get ready.
What happens when quantum computing collides with the world's largest monetary network?
On September 5th, @cryptoquick (Hunter Beast) joins us at The Sovereign Assembly to explore one of the most important long term questions.

We are moving the Surmount Systems physical servers and there will be downtime as we transition our stack.
Our website will be down during that time, and any emails sent will be temporarily undeliverable.
Please reach out to @cryptoquick via X DM if there are any questions.

we are pledging up to $5m in grants to open source developers building post-quantum cryptography for bitcoin, post-quantum signature schema for bitcoin, reviewing code, doing security audits, and more
if you are working on this and need funding, email:
quantum at galaxy dot com
Today we're launching the Galaxy Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative.
No quantum computer today can break Bitcoin's security. But that could change faster than expected, and Bitcoin is slow to update by design. We love Bitcoin and believe in its long-term importance and prospects, so we want to contribute to the work before it's urgent.
The initiative has three pillars:
→ Up to $5M in developer grants for post-quantum solutions
→ Ongoing research & publishing via Galaxy Research
→ A Quantum Advisory Council of leading experts
The Developer Grant Program funds work on:
— Quantum-resistant upgrade proposals (i.e., informal proposals to formal BIPs)
— Post-quantum cryptography and signature schemes for Bitcoin,
— Wallet/custodian migration tooling
— Formal security audits, code review
Bitcoin's security has always depended on people showing up early to defend it. We're inviting the ecosystem — developers, institutions, researchers — to join us.

Amidst all of these security research conversations, a helpful tool are rigorous cryptographic proofs.
I would like to draw attention to some work that legendary researcher @ProofOfKeags is doing.
First, read his post here: groups.google.com/g/bitcoind…

Today, @PsiQuantum breaks ground on Australia's quantum future at the site of the world's first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
Located at Moreton Bay Central in Queensland, Australia, the facility will house large-scale cryogenic infrastructure and tens of thousands of photonic quantum chips networked together with standard optical fiber.
This milestone marks the beginning of the next phase of our mission to build and deploy utility-scale quantum computers capable of solving commercially relevant problems across medicine, materials science, energy, manufacturing, finance, and beyond.
We're grateful for the support of the Australian Government, Queensland Government, City of Moreton Bay, and our many partners.

Look who stopped by the office!
Great to chat with Hunter Beast (@cryptoquick, @SurmountSystems) and Theo Fields (@theobcvc) on the latest happenings in the quantum and crypto spaces!
You may recognize Hunter from his work on a certain Google paper that has been all the rage in crypto lately 👀
