As we dive deeper into the realms of technology, two emerging forces stand poised to revolutionize the landscape of blockchain security: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing. These advancements, once seen as distant possibilities, are now approaching critical points where their implications for cryptographic systems, including blockchain, cannot be ignored. Artificial Intelligence, particularly machine learning algorithms, has demonstrated remarkable progress in deciphering complex patterns and optimizing solutions. When applied to cryptography, AI can potentially enhance attacks on blockchain networks in several ways, such as Pattern recognition —which could lead to optimized attacks— and behavioral analysis, which could be used to crack passwords—  . On the other frontier lies Quantum Computing, which promises computational power far beyond what classical computers can achieve. While current blockchain protocols rely on cryptographic algorithms that are considered secure against classical computers, they are vulnerable to quantum-enabled attacks, aren't they? Coming both together, it seems to me that there is a potential never seen before that could be used to crack, among others, Shor's or Gorver's algorithms, and only God knows what else. Do you guys believe it will get to the point where the blockchain is cracked?? Not yet, but AI writing should stay off the boards. Your demonstrating fingerprints such as Unicode derived characters that aren't on your keyboard.

I've had a weird relationship with Bitcoin lately. I think about community developments on things such as LN , Vanity search projects, tools, tickers scrapers ECT..... How they where developed by altruistic members for the chance of creativity, freedom and decentralized banking.
Bitcoin is now a store of value ,a commodity of fiat held by institutional parties.
Major altruistic contributors , sidelined. Some got tips. Most got nothing.
If fees stay at 1 Satoshi , will LN/Layer 2 really be necessary? What happens when we are all mined up, no one sells and only holds, and the mining fees don't cover the electric bill. Bitcoins showing signs of fatigue and stagnation overall. Will it die ,I don't think so, but Bitcoin doesn't appear to be designed for and by cypherpunks. If it was , wall street weaponized it.
I've dedicated a lot of my life to this particular branch of cryptography, I've learned a lot! But it kinda feels like it was for nothing at this point. I've publicly released all my crypto projects source codes and walking away from developing in this sector.
I'll still be around speculating but that's about it.

My paradox is this. Even if we find a form of quantum encryption,And quantum computing scales , it renders the current encryption obsolete. <snip>
Um, quantum encryption chips have existed and been in use since 2021... ref here More recently Microsoft also announced a QE chip a few days ago. https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/microsoft-quantum-chip-encryption/QE is something entirely different and far easier to implement than QC (Quantum Computing). QC still has a long long way to go before it is able to crack current standard encryption (or for that matter do anything significantly useful). It is hardly 'pseudo science'. You might want to start doing a little fact checking before posting yer thoughts... That's my dilemma on this subject, you say a long time. I disagree. It's all time based cat and mouse . I'm just speculating here. Photonic encryption is part of QKD , I don't want to discuss this route as it leads to gating. I don't think we want the gating route. Perhaps I'm wrong? I don't mind putting my thoughts on here and having someone such as you contesting them. It took me years to really start grasping basics even in bitcoin. I don't know shit. My goal here is to see if there's other physical routes to protect classical systems against QC.

There's no shifting. No pivoting, nothing....
There is no way to apply it to current classical computing. There's virtually infinite workarounds to "Pre-Layering"
Maybe encryption isn't what we need to be looking for in terms of security in the quantum realm.

~~~ Which software do you use to find a work item solution (I might've missed it in case you already wrote about it)? Did you modify the software in any way? I can't remember having issues to submit the first hit of a work item solution many many years ago when vanitypool was rather new and there were plenty of not terribly hard work items available (GPUs back then weren't as powerful as today's and I only had a barely middle-class one). It would be against all odds that I was purely lucky that my first found solution to a work item was just one that worked out fine, if there were detected "solutions" that won't spit out the correct public address prefix after combining the keys. Why would there be something like "1 in 6" chance? That's nonsense in my opinion as I don't see any mathematical proof for such ambiguity. This sounds much like some strange bug in the software. And I also can't remember any discussion about such an issue in this thread earlier (not that I've followed the many pages of it to the word). I use VanitySearch for searching, with a special search scheme, for speeding up. This problem arose only when searching for a prefix with a public key, when searching for a prefix without it, 100% match of results. I also thought that when using a public key, the match should also be 100%, but it turns out that no, for what reason I can not answer exactly, maybe because elliptic curves are used for calculations or this is a bug in the program or memory without error correction, it is not clear yet why this happens, too little data and it takes months to accumulate it. Maybe there were no problems before because the prefixes were not complicated and it was possible to quickly find another option. I've gone through every inch of the SC of VS , his functions are incomplete when using a pub key with prefix. Theres no discarding splitkeys in vs. if a function checks out .if it just so happens to find a child wallet it tells you that's fine. The other program doesn't. But it's nowhere near as complex as VS The only question I really have is why does this happen with LEGACY wallets! Why do legacy wallets have child keys? There are more people who would probably know what's going on here if they see the post. I didn't get into VS until 2019 or so.

For fun, I checked other key variants for 1iJuniorTV and out of 15 variants, only about 5 matched the prefixes. Again: Can you explain this? As far as I know, vanity split key matches should be correct and not have a "1 in 6" chance. When I did my split key vanity giveaway, every match I found produced the desired address. if you used VS you got lucky. The other one discards child keys automatically, JeanLuc should have implemented this into vs. I broke it down pretty well in the post above. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.msg64820642

Hi, I found a solution for Searched pattern: 1RoseCross The payment is not going through to me. Writes: Solution does not match the pattern Everything is correct, I checked everything again. I wrote about it to ThePiachu. The search took 19 days on the same equipment.  1SatoshiNak In line for search 1AustriaFTW Search 1HASHCRACK1 In line for search 1RoseCross The solution was found 1iJuniorTV The solution was found You found a solution. Not the solution. Try again. Your keypairs aren't merging to a known prefix . You have about a 1 in 6 chance of getting it right the first time. There is a slight chance something may be going wrong on the backend. But I doubt it. (This is why I'm pretty certain your keypairs are mismatched) Correct solution. Incorrect merged prefix. I'm not saying Piachu will rug pull but BTC did just hit 100k I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to exit soon. Just hope your endeavors don't get pulled. Why does my solution not always match after combining two keys it gives a completely different address? I have found the correct address. https://gobittest.appspot.com/VanityAllI checked other options found and they also did not all match; the first symbols of the address were completely different after combining the two keys. 1SatoshiNak In line for search 1AustriaFTW In line for search 1HASHCRACK1 In line for search 1RoseCross Search 1iJuniorTV The solution was found ThePiachu Continues to work on fixing payments from the pool site. Can you explain this? As far as I know, vanity split key matches should be correct and not have a "1 in 6" chance.
Here's a pretty good writeup explaining it all. TLDR user generated a child key. I found goryniche or whatever like 4 times but someone beat me to it. When I operated 1Splitkey I created (forked) tool and scripted it to check work. I only learned about child keys through some old programming Bitcoin with CS writeup I found encountering the same issue. Based on what I've read and researched a master key actually controls or is linked to 5 other wallets by default, even with split keys. Sound familiar?(Multi sig) So no surprise there. I just didn't understand it back then and how it related to legacy address. Hope this helps clear things up for y'all.

@Cyrus can you move this back to goods main board please, and in the future can you leave well enough alone?
The petty stuff like this is pretty much so why guys like me don't frequent here anymore.

What ANN post? Do you mean the thread in Project Development, or is there another ANN thread? Is dkbit98 selling these kits himself? I was unaware of that, but BIG if true.
This postNot exactly an ANN thread, but I had the impression that he was behind the project. I'd appreciate it if someone clarified the details (as now I recall reading somewhere that this BTCclock build is produced by someone else). He does seem very invested based on the emotional responses. Simple(est) solution is to rebrand reword and repurpose. Seems the cnd was about it being a copied patented product. See the switch and steam deck looked the same but Nintendo couldn't sue them due to them being entirely different products. Same purpose yes, different means of delivery though. Btclock and block clock are similar products shit they even kinda look the same. NVK response I gotta say I agree with his paradigm.

With great sadness I'm supporting this flag. Hopefully it's some feature creep issues or something but risky either way at the moment. Lack of communication from wetsuit is what's telling imo.

Did Quinn stop running support? The users inactivity seems.. Out of character?
I've been on freebitco.in longer than Bitcointalk. Have been a legitimate service provider over the years but these recent complaints with no resolve are a little nerve racking.
@wetsuit maybe you have something for us?

Personally, I wouldn't do equity-based pay on altcoin projects. I did do equity-based compensation on LN stuff back in the day, But I knew it was gold from the get. I even voluntarily ran a campaign pitch with major players at the time to pitch in on a LN based services campaign, but LN did pretty well and didn't need it. with that being said, at the top layer this project seems to be taken very seriously by the powers that be. https://cozy-world-metaverse.gitbook.io/cozyworld/inrtoduction/welcome-to-the-cozy-world-metaverseMaybe a metaverse/web3 fanatic will take keenly to the project. Or perhaps good pay on the project will create a metaverse fanatic. What are the requirements (programming languages, etc)?
Fullstack usually consist of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, C#, PHP and other languages. This appears to be a metaverse project so you'll likely have your hands full and learn some new languages on the fly.
