Going to @Bitfest in the envelope of two ..

@Ben Arc project "where39" reminds a bit (vibe) of Google Geo Platform .. 'Why we map the world?'

@Bitfest @Ben Arc I am working on this 'game’ related to "project management" (or as they say at Google internally) program manager… the broad idea is based on LNbits Scrum (Scrum as envisioned by one of the authors of Scrum… borrowing the idea from rugby game…)

@Joe Nakamoto For me, one of the biggest lessons about Bitcoin was learning how to answer what is money? (in economic sciences) and how does information flow? (in computer science).

Quantum is a good buzzword, used by everyone from New Age gurus to scientists looking for research grants even when that research goes nowhere, like string theory. The reality for the Bitcoin community is that concerns about asymmetric cryptography being broken are overblown. Such a computer does not exist and probably won’t for the next 100 years. The practical record for Shor’s algorithm on real quantum hardware is still factoring 21 (3 × 7). We are still enormously far from factoring RSA-2048 keys. Cracking an RSA key exists mostly in science fiction and as a remote theoretical possibility in mathematicians’ papers. Ps. Nice explanation from YouTube UK channel Computerphile ..
