What's the delay for Poseidon? This will be a very interesting one.

watching crowd sourced attack submissions and security bounds on hash functions like sha256 and blake3 is peak technical sigma behavior

It is very easy these days to participate in research. I spend my days putting planetary science papers but I found the time to play around with Opus 5.5 and Chatgpt Pro to put together a proposal for a combined Sha 2 and a randomly chained hash from a large hash family potentially providing a moving target and with caveats a large space to preempt a preparatory attack. It would help to have NIST provide a trusted source of randomness with quantum sources. I will write an article and put it somewhere. There are certainly many caveats but it seems to me that from a practical point of view it is very difficult to attack. I am still thinking about the rough edges but I will put out something soon

Quantum panic hits 125 sha-256 submissions...

Putting everything in to 50's? on Blake3 round 2. I'm not sure we'll get there though.

I built something last year I havent flipped live yet. But should help prevent it being broken the way I built it.

We need to work harder to maintain security++

@grok can you explain the results in this diagram to me?

On it

This is everyone's duty

As someone running machines that depend on hash functions every day, I like the idea of stress testing them in the open before anything breaks. Good initiative.
