Wow another pre-quantum proposal for Bitcoin. In 2026. They could just swap in STARKs for SNARKs but I guess that’s too much work? Bitcoiners are sleep-walking into a disaster.
BREAKING: RESEARCHERS JUST RELEASED THE FIRST PROTOCOL FOR FULLY PRIVATE #BITCOIN TRANSFERS ON THE BASE LAYER NO SOFT FORK NEEDED ZCASH ABOUT TO BECOME HISTORY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE 🔥🔥

It’s quite a compliment when the Japanese appreciate the design. 友達の皆さん、ようこそ!
もし、量子コンピュータの時代が本当に来るなら。 「その時になってから暗号を変える」のではなく、 最初からその未来を前提に設計されたブロックチェーンがあってもいい。 それが、Quantus Networkです。 今回、Quantusをまだ知らない人にも 「なぜこのプロジェクトが面白いのか」が伝わるように、紹介映像を作りました。 Quantusは、単に「量子耐性」を掲げているだけではありません。 ・NIST標準のポスト量子署名 ML-DSA ・ML-DSA-87によるNIST Security Category 5にも対応 ・P2Pネットワークにもポスト量子暗号を採用 ・Proof of Work ・最大供給量 21,000,000 QTC ・供給量の73%をマイニングで発行 ・Mining-time Dev Taxなし ・Encrypted Transactions ・Zero-Knowledge Proofs ・Plonky2によるRecursive ZK ・将来、暗号方式そのものを変更できることまで想定した設計 個人的に一番惹かれたのは、 「今の暗号が永遠に安全だ」と考えていないところです。 暗号技術は進化する。 脅威も進化する。 だからQuantusは、 今ある方式を採用するだけではなく、 “暗号そのものが変わる未来”にも適応できるよう設計されている。 そして、何でもできるブロックチェーンを目指すのではなく、 Moneyのためのネットワークに集中する。 この思想を知ると、 Quantusの見え方が少し変わると思います。 「量子耐性のコイン」という一言だけでは、 このプロジェクトの面白さは伝わらない。 だから映像にしました。 少しでも気になったら、 ぜひ最後まで見てみてください。 未来の脅威に、 未来になってから備えるのではなく。 最初から、その未来のために作る。 @QuantusNetwork #Quantus #QuantusNetwork #QTC #PostQuantum #ProofOfWork #Blockchain #Crypto #仮想通貨 #暗号資産 #BTC #XRP #XLM #ETH #BNB #SOL #ZEC #HYPE #XMR #NEAR

What if…inflation is actually bad?
If the money system wasn't fundamentally broken, it wouldn't be mandatory to own assets just in order to maintain your purchasing power. Infinite money printing is the most destructive scam that nearly everybody just accepts. It never gets addressed.

First they ignore you, then they call you a shitcoin, then they publish your protocol under a new title and tweet you to zero lol

AI is accelerating quantum, in this case a neutral atom quantum computer with 30 logical qubits from 80 physical qubits. For reference, ecdsa.fail has a requirement of about 800 logical qubits to crack Bitcoin keys. One of the remarkable things here is that all 30 qubits were entangled with each other, not the pairwise entanglement that others have demonstrated. “Their co-design made this possible, alongside an AI-assisted discovery that halves the physical gates needed for a key logical operation.”
A major milestone for Infleqtion: 30 entangled logical qubits, working together in a single computation on Sqale. Using just 80 physical qubits, Infleqtion has delivered its 2026 roadmap milestone, becoming the first neutral-atom quantum computing company to reach 30 logical qubits on a commercial system. Congratulations to our Sqale hardware and Superstaq software teams on an extraordinary achievement. Their co-design made this possible, alongside an AI-assisted discovery that halves the physical gates needed for a key logical operation. Fewer gates mean fewer chances for error as we push toward larger, more complex computations. Next stop: 100 logical qubits in 2028, with customer application development already underway. Each advancement brings us closer to the goal: quantum computers that can tackle problems customers can’t solve today. Read the announcement: ow.ly/2vhu50ZQQcp Explore the science: ow.ly/YLxr50ZQQcm

*if* Bitcoin adopts…
🔥HUGE: Coinbase is building post-quantum protection for the $250 BILLION in assets it holds for BlackRock and other institutions. Head of Cryptography Yehuda Lindell says the custody is being designed to adapt to whatever post-quantum signing scheme Bitcoin adopts. The plan includes a hardware fallback using programmable Hardware Security Modules if Bitcoin adopts a scheme incompatible with traditional multi-party computation.

I thought we could just transfer our sins to the AI then sacrifice it. Is that not how it works?
lol watch the fear porn marketing vanish entirely once senior management becomes legally liable for all the tall tales they been telling

The child-attempts-to-kill-the-parent story is essentially the Satan / Saturn story. Fitting, considering Anthropic wants to castrate AI, as Saturn did to Ouranos. Some of this is just natural power convection, but maybe there’s a better story we can tell about AI? @grok can you suggest something?
this is like an embryo of the thing that's going to kill us all

Deutsch has “easy to vary” Vitalik has “galaxy brain resistance” We will keep getting rebrandings of this idea until we digest it enough to get something 80 IQ people can absorb in one shot. Maybe a short fable, or a joke that children can tell each other. Something like the Chinese aphorisms (成语 chéngyǔ) that compress longer moral stories in 4 characters. Basically we want to inoculate ourselves against the untrue thoughts of the mind, “COGSEC”. Some human languages have “obligatory evidentiality”, a grammatical structure that makes it impossible to express something without saying how you came to know the thing. It can function as a kind of immune system for certain mind viruses. We could partially import it into English by simply asking “how do you know that?” when people make extraordinary claims.
I dislike the recent trend of people who clearly continue to believe >80% of the core effective altruist beliefs disavow EA and say "oh we're definitely not that, we're [rebrand]" purely strategically, purely because they sense that dunking on EA is "cool" now. It's much more honorable to just come out and say "yes, that was our intellectual upbringing and those continue to be our core values, and also here are specific points where we disagree, and here's our argument for why we think for those specific points are the subset of EA that causes what you perceive to be the problem with the whole thing". And so with that I will say: Yes, effective altruism was a significant part of my intellectual upbringing and its core values of care for others, cosmopolitanism and rigor around effective resource allocation continue to be very important to me. And also here are specific points where I disagree with what I think is the subset of that style of thought that has backfired in the largest ways: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202…

Hey @grok give me the elevator pitch for Quantus like I’m a 160 IQ investor. Keep it short: why quantum, why quantus, and why now?
