How many hours a day do you work? And what does your daily schedule look like?
I wonder how strong would Elliptic Curve Cryptography be compared to other methods if there is a major breakthrough in quantum computing.
I wish this were talked about more. Quantum computing is the biggest long-term threat to crypto imo. What's the plan once elliptic curve cryptography can be broken? There will be a point in time where there are just a few quantum computers that can break everything before the general public has access to quantum computing. Can crypto work in that scenario? Normal computers wouldn't be able to work with the beastly al…
Kind of surprised Andrej has time to work on anything besides self-driving cars

Just don't re-use addresses. Bitcoin does not expose your public key until you spend from it.
Are you sure, what about when someone sends to it?

I count myself very fortunate that I find the word "work" very confusing.
What does your average daily schedule look like?

It practice, it appears to be slightly harder to break than RSA for the same security level as we define it in non-quantum computing, but not by much.
> We don’t just get to share code, we get to share a running computer, and anyone anywhere can use it in an open and permissionless manner Can someone explain what this means? Its not explained anywhere in the post.
He links committing transactions to the blockchain to storing state in a distributed data structure... which is of course, in the case of Bitcoin, implemented in arguably the most wasteful, ham-fisted, environmentally disastrous way possible. There's also the ethereum VM which is a slow decentralized state machine capable of executing code...

If the sender wanted to send you a private message, they would need your public key, but that's not what transactions do.
