NINE.

by TWENTY TWENTY NINE we will have consumer ready devices capable of breaking as much as a 1024 bit rsa key, the ol’ reliable for digital security.

by TWENTY TWENTY NINE we will be able to crack an ecc key with 256 bits of security, essentially BREAKING bitcoin and other blockchain tech with it.

NINE.

we are screwed!!!!

like im not even gonna pretend that the new pqc sig options are optimal for anything other than https and whatnot. the minimum is 1024 bits. FOR A BLOCKCHAIN.

1024 bits

ON A BLOCKCHAIN.

WE ARE SCREWED!!!!

WE ARE COOKED!!!!

WE ARE FRIED!!!!

there is no way in HECK that we will be able to fit a 1024 bit key onto a BLOCKCHAIN

period.

ok thats all goodbyte cybercat
