Title: How does the NSA revelation effect bitcoin? Quantumcopper? >NOT QUANTUM COMPUTER Post by: fog-or-vos on January 02, 2014, 02:47:40 AM I don't have a computer sci background but I'm wondering how the quantumcopper exploit could effect bitcoin. By the sound of it it's essentially a kill switch for the internet/bitcoin users if it's properly directed... talk about at 0:29:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vILAlhwUgIU is it good by blockchain at that point?
Thanks for the insight. Title: Re: How does the NSA revelation effect bitcoin? Quantumcopper? Post by: Bitcoin Oz on January 02, 2014, 11:41:23 AM No doubt they have an exploit that steals your wallet....

Post by: fog-or-vos on January 04, 2014, 04:13:58 AM ..Oz, thanks for the reply, the exploit that I was referring to is not to do with the ability to steal a wallet/iphone issue...(as I understand the quantumcopper exploit applying anyways..)
Has nobody seen this Chaos Communication Congress lecture? Is this quantumcopper exploit not a risk to the bitcoin protocol if nodes are in need of continual connectivity to the network/users ability to make transactions and there is a way to reset/disrupt that connection effectively making it inaccessible/turned off? Or do I have it all misunderstood? Title: Re: How does the NSA revelation effect bitcoin?

The NSA seems to have a way with clever naming schemes for their projects..... as an aside I can not imagine how they are able to collect so much data if they don't have the most advanced technology NOT-known-to-man... |
