☢️You remember? Google optimized Shor's algorithm. The algorithm that breaks asymmetric cryptography (RSA, elliptic curves) once you have a quantum computer with enough Qubits. The US government blocked the paper. So Google published a Zero Knowledge proof instead: a mathematical proof that they have the result, without revealing how. Cryptographic sorcery 🧙 But the Internet is sneaky. Someone launched a contest to re-discover the result with AI. The LLM searches a huge space of circuits (each one a candidate optimization of Shor's), and tests whether it beats the previous best. The clever part: they use the ZKP verifier as the reward function. No false positives, and it turns out to be a very efficient signal. In less than 2 days, the community re-discovered Google's result !!! 🔔15 days later, the LLMs are still improving it. They're already 44% ahead of Google. Hard to say where this stops, ie. what the true minimum quantum complexity for Shor's is. But we will not close the full gap. You still need a Quantum Computer with a relatively large number of qubits. The only thing that changed is that this number drops a little every day, and it has been dropping for 15 days straight.

More bitcoiners than ever are securing their life savings outside their home and establishing sovereign inheritance pathways. Hugely successful week for @FrostsnapTech at @BTCPrague

anthropic won't let you use fable for biology, chemistry, ai research, or anything that accelerates human progress. that makes it the perfect tool for developing blockchains

Huge moment for the Frostsnap team and another step forward in protecting bitcoiners from loss and coercion. Come and visit our booth at @BTCPrague!
Self-custody gets risky when everything depends on one device, one seed, one hiding place, or one perfect memory. 🧩 @FrostsnapTech joins BTC Prague 2026 as a Silver Partner. 🤝 2-of-3 multisignature. Collaborative key generation. No single device trusted with the whole wallet secret. BTC Prague 2026 is about using Bitcoin, and that includes holding it in a way that can survive real life. Get your ticket now. 🔥 How should Bitcoiners think about security when the threat is not only hackers, but loss, panic, bad backups, and physical pressure?

This inane proposal is what we need rn. Keep pretending that it’s a crucial event. Everyone must have an opinion on it. Everyone must be trading it. It could single-handedly end the bear market. Slander him. Defend him. Make polymarkets on him.
Breaking: @LayerTwoLabs eCash .com have raised $5 million, to [1] further our mission of "Making every transaction a Bitcoin txn", and [2] launch a new BTC-fork this August. We must rescue Bitcoin from its crisis of complacency and derangement. Our ideas are cutting-edge -- so they are often misunderstood. But actually -- they are quite popular (especially among OG Bitcoiners). You can look at: our podcast interviews, the Wednesday X spaces, the endorsements on the site -- real people love us. The only haters are bot farms -- and sheep who are easily misled. Unfortunately, Bitcoin is going through an era of great ignorance and cowardice (see "Derangements" below). That is why it is so important to fight back!

99.9999% NGMI. Looper master race LFG.
i hate how a few people will use a term and it will just become the "thing you should be doing." 99.9999% of you should in fact not being "looping" your agent

"The beginning felt like a college math lecture" -anon, @btcplusplus Taiwan At @FreedomTechSum we'll build a FROST key together. On paper first, then over Nostr. You'll leave with a share of a group key no one can sign under alone. Nothing beyond high school mathematics ❄

ETH has 10% to fall to be flipped by Tether. There will be no recovery until the blood sacrafice is made.

Three years ago we attended @BTCPrague, jumping booth-to-booth to share our early prototype with friendly faces we'd only ever interacted with online. This year we're back with the real thing: Frostsnap. Multisig made simple, with no single point of failure.

Today we're launching mpcsec.org, a collaborative catalog of common pitfalls in MPC implementations and the cryptographic primitives they rely on. Built with contributors from zkSecurity, Trail of Bits, Partisia, and Zama.

Has anyone considered a mechanism of putting your BTC into your home. Like into the walls or whatever so that it contributes to the property appreciation of your main residence and is therefore CGT exempt.

lmao we have to justify owning BTC as a "way to buy a home" because buying a property is the only sacred financial interest an Australian can have without it being considered morally suspect. Australia is beyond help. It's over let's just HFSP.
The proposed changes to the CGT Discount kicks out the rungs of the asset-ladder most often used to buy a home. With Members of ABIB opposed to the proposed changes, we've made a template and tool that you can use to let policymakers know what you think. Make the message your own, and send it to your representative - the tool can help you find who that is. You can find it at: bitcoinindustrybody.org.au/b…

Been using a lot of claude opus 4.7 and codex GPT-5.5 recently: - Opus 4.7 is the best planner/executer model ever. GPT-5.5 creates never ending slop cycle on large ambitious plans. - claude goes down nearly every day - GPT 5.5 is faster and better at thinking about resolving difficult bugs. - Both are good at reviewing -- claude takes about three times as long but finds about 30% more stuff.
