>breaks your crypto
Post-quantum cryptography
Not IOTA. Which is why it is the future. It's inevitable.
why not iota? because of the longer seed?
Actually it breaks everything. Banks, military, government systems, crypto, everything.
breaks my ass
it is in theory a threat to public key cryptography of small key size in about 100 years or so. in 100 years however the standard public key size can easily grow to 10 to 100 times the current standard. and it's exponentially more difficult to build a general purpose q-computer with every qbit added.
symmetric cryptography and cryptographic hashes will give little fucks about q machines. which means so long you don't reuse an bitcoin address you are fine for the next century.
jokes on you we have 100bn tokens
Because of Winternitz Signatures and it being quantum secure from the ground up
I wonder if future "mining" will just be attempting to bruteforce long inactive/abandoned bitcoin wallets.
im too dumb to undrstand this. i believe its true but if you or someone else is able to explain this to me i would be glad
