Just because we believe Satoshi coins are dormant does not mean that they are For hypothetical instance, Satoshi could have had a child and, perhaps, by the time that child found those keys (after Satoshis death in 2009) they, themselves, may have loved Bitcoin enough to not dump on everyone’s heads In this instance, Satoshi’s child would be a) not responsible for the creation of Bitcoin, b) the rightful heir of those signatures , c) tax exempt until the spend of those UTXOs Anyone who attempted to remove those coins from the possession of that heiress would be criminal thieves This is, of course, a hypothetical but also a much more likely scenario than a quantum theft of Satoshis coins you absolute waffles

If even one single UTXO is frozen, burned, confiscated, or -a more appropriate term- stolen as a result of a BIP and, post seizure, a person can produce the rightful keys to claim even one of those UTXOs It should be within that persons rights to sue in civil court and/or press criminal charges on the individuals who were participatory in that outcome

There is no way to distinguish between active and inactive coins you fucking doorknobs

If the quantum gates (that the quantum circuits are dependent on) are not inherently reversible on the device, then you do not have a quantum computer- you do not even have a quantum simulator You have a noisy classical simulator In order to have fault tolerant design that creates reversible quantum gates (and thus the quantum circuits required for Shors), you need a massive number of logical quibits (which introduces hardware constraints/resource demands) Even IF you can overcome the resource demands, THEN you run into what I like to call the moat… Ask any physicist or biologist that has gotten deep enough into the rabbit hole and they will tell you that they have run into their version of “the moat” The moat is when there seems to be some “barrier” that reverts you right back to square one In quantum systems, this is the paradox that you need HIGH number of logical qubits to scale a fault tolerant design BUT PARADOXICALLY the higher the number of qubits that you “gather” the more decoherence or “crosstalk” between local qubits you introduce- this results in greater error Quantum Computers (in order to run Shors) would need a high fidelity output, >99.9999% accuracy This is why QC has NEVER scaled in any meaningful way

lmao! Opened up my old logic textbook to check my work on something for DagzTagz Uni and nothing like finding out you are in possession of a book that is 13+ years overdue 😂💀

Be me, the crazy Libertarian aunt, so that after the kids open their silver and gold chains for Christmas you hear them say “Mom, Aunt Gel said we can’t lose these because we have to prove we’re responsible enough to upgrade them every Christmas and Birthday or our money is going to inflate away” and also “Did you tell the kids that they should have a lockbox for their cash, gold, and guns?”

💀 soooo, the bugle boys somehow leaked into my real life and my irl friends and family stumbled across Kaylee Bugle unprompted and everyone (ofc) had questions 😂 So then I had to explain to my irl friends and family who everyone from Odell to Shinobi are (basically anyone who was starring in the “Heroes” video) And my loved ones were like… “Wait, do you know these people?” 💀 And then I had to say, “no… but sometimes we send bitcoin to each other” So, anyway Merry Christmas everyone my family is concerned about my mental health 😂😂

People think I hate all bips but I do not hate all bips… I like the bips that @schmidty and that murchadamus guy were talking about on optech today Idk how you spell it… utreexo? maybe But, I like this bc Satoshi alluded to this type of design being the future of Bitcoin one day but it’s actually better than what Satoshi imagined originally, I think

I could be like the rest of these folks and flex my degrees and credentials and academic background etc etc and we’d actually find that I’m rather credentialed to have many unecessary opinions but 2 things 1) that forces me to reveal more information about myself than I care to reveal and 2) for what? Bitcoin doesn’t give a shit and Bitcoin isn’t about me… Tick tock next block Nobody cares, work harder

The craziest thing about this entire conversation is that I literally have the Planck Constant tattoo’d on my wrist And yet, men keep explaining Quantum to me fate loves irony. lol

Make sure you leave cookies out for Santa because he might steal your private keys when he comes down your chimney if you don’t This is the current state of Bitcoin discourse
