just when the market was starting to show some signs of life 💀 so if I’m understanding this correctly, he’s basically warning that advances in AI driven mathematics could potentially find a way to break ECDSA before we even have quantum computers capable of doing it? but is there any actual evidence that ECDSA is getting close to being broken, or is this more of a worst case scenario based on how quickly AI is advancing ?
Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash. Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster). Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time? Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.) Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026). Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS. Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security. The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

So you are telling me an Ethereum researcher is warning Bitcoin whales to enter “bunker mode”? Justin Drake just published one of the strangest Bitcoin warnings I’ve seen in a while. And no man, Bitcoin hasn’t been hacked. But the scenario he’s describing is much worse if it ever becomes real. The idea: Bitcoin relies on elliptic-curve cryptography to protect private keys today, deriving a private key from a public key is computationally impractical Drake is preparing for a world where that assumption suddenly stops being true AI could accelerate mathematical discoveries, quantum computing could eventually use Shor’s algorithm against elliptic curves or, in the extreme scenario, someone discovers a classical equivalent capable of doing something similar without a quantum computer Drake defines the nightmare pretty clearly: recovering a private key from a public key in ONE WEEK using commercially available hardware like a large GPU cluster. If that happens, things get ugly very quickly. Really really ugly Because not every Bitcoin is equally exposed. many Bitcoin addresses initially reveal only a hash of the public key some very old Bitcoin outputs sent directly to public keys have been exposed for years Taproot has different public-key exposure characteristics billions of dollars in old BTC could suddenly become interesting targets This is why Drake is talking about “bunker mode.” His recommendation is basically prepare before everyone realizes they need to prepare. - move important funds gradually to fresh addresses - avoid address reuse - prefer addresses that have never signed a transaction - after spending, move the remaining balance to another fresh address - rotate critical keys And most importantly: DON’T PANIC.

Custom supply wasn't on our roadmap but now have multiple teams asking for it so clearly something people want. If you're looking to launch and need a custom feature, variable, setting, etc reach out and if it makes sense we'll add it.
Your token, your supply. Teams launching on token.select can now set any total supply from 1 million to 1 billion tokens. It's set at launch and shown on the launch page. Live now.

ok this might be one of the craziest things I’ve seen happen in crypto in a while. @TechnoRevenant posted an 18 minute AI generated video. Somehow, @0xAsta made it through the entire thing and noticed something weird at 16:17. Incomplete letters started appearing, and once he pieced everything together, there were 12 words. Then came the thought: “Wait, could this be a seed phrase?” He checked the wallet. ~$8K worth of HYPE. The video had already been up for five hours, and nobody had found it. Funds were still sitting there untouched. You really can’t make this shit up.
what i thought was a free LSD trip turned out to a blessing in disguise, made my ̶d̶a̶y̶ year 31.0310 hype + 31.0310 khype + 31.0310 wsthype secured i fucking love you @TechnoRevenant 🐐🐐🐐 bless you 🫶🫶

wait Blast was still up?
Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

Most launchpads reward whoever gets in first. token.select rewards the community that supports it. @GoodCoinRH contributors entered at one price, and now share in the trading fees for as long as the token trades. Luca from the $GOOD team joined @ZachHumphries to explain why they chose us.

how to go viral and influence people, read this and become a better human by understanding social media algos to understand virality fully, you need to not only look at social media from the perspective of a consumer or producer, but from the perspective of the social media company itself the biggest social media companies are insta/fb, tiktok, youtube how do these companies make money? with ads. social media platforms - under the hood - are a matching engine between people who want to spend money on a product or service and providers of such services. insta alone grosses around $80 billion from ads annually how can these social media companies compete against each other to convince more companies to pay them for ads? by having more users/consumers and how do they get more users/consumers? by providing these consumers with superior content that they can't find on other social media platforms how do you get superior content on your platform? by having more and better content creators social media companies REALLY REALLY care about their content creators, obviously for selfish, profit-maximising reasons how do these social media companies convince content creators to post from their platform instead of competitors? by giving them two things: views and money now comes the interesting part: social media algorithms are extremely powerful as they literally shape the sentiment and views of EVERYONE, especially lower iq people who can't think for themselves. and i don't know if you noticed, but a few years ago the social media algorithm underwent a significant change back in the early days, you used to ONLY get content from people you followed. later, you also got content from large, influential accounts with many followers. you were basically invisible to the general public if you had less than a few thousand followers today, this has completely changed. instead of account focussed content, it is interest focussed content, ie if you mainly consume rock climbing videos, the algo will mainly feed you rock climbing content and often this is from very small accounts. the size of your account is not such an important variable in virality as it used to be 5 years ago, today the most important variable is the QUALITY of the video. if you are producing a high quality video, the video will most likely have millions of views, even if your account only has a few hundred followers here is the exact way it works: - content creator posts a video - this video is shown to a test audience of around 200 people - if the test audience loves your content - measured by retention, how much of the video is watched, if it's shared, etc - the algo will blast your video to a much bigger audience and it goes viral - if the test audience finds your content boring, your video won't be amplified much and slowly dies around 200 - 500 views that's why you need to warm up accounts to a certain niche when you post new content, eg if you have a brandnew account and want to become influential in the robotics space, you need to warm up your account by consuming tons of robotics content so that the algo knows that this is your niche and then it will show your video to a test audience of 200 people who are also in robotics, thus increasing the chance that they will like your video understand this concept is the first step towards mastering social media and being able to influence people in the direction you want, most likely to buy a product or service from you the next step is to adapt your content creation process to take advantage of the algo. i'll give you one example: being a content creator in 2026 is MUCH MUCH EASIER than in 2020, specifically bc you don't need to go through the process of growing the account anymore there is a lot more alpha that i don't want to share publicly bc the information is too valuable. all these niggaz posting "alpha" publicly and offering courses about it are larps. if your method actually worked and you are able to convince people to buy what you want, why would you share this method. it's like sharing the location of your gold mine
