quantum computing

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all.

Project Eleven launches the Q-Day Prize, offering 1 BTC to anyone who can break bitcoin’s cryptography using a quantum computer.

In the early 2020s, quantum computing hit the public spotlight as a potential threat to Bitcoin. Relying on SHA-256 cryptographic hash function for its...

Celebrate this Proof Of Keys Day by considering the future of Bitcoin security: quantum resistance.

Rapid progress in quantum computing could pose a risk to certain types of bitcoin transactions. So how can we combat this risk?

Crypto agility relates to the ease (or lack thereof) with which cryptosystems can be replaced in existing systems in a (potential) post-quantum computing era. Best to be prepared.

It's expected that 10 percent of global GDP could be stored on blockchain technology by 2027. Here is one possible way to keep that data safe.

The ongoing block size dispute has catapulted to the center of attention again. One of the most talked-about developments is Segregated Witness, of which...

Adam Back and Austin Hill announced on Let’s Talk Bitcoin their newest project: “sidechains”. The idea, they described, would allow for the existence of alternative blockchains, perhaps with different rules allowing various kinds of additional features or transaction types, but with a currency unit whose value is pegged to that of the bitcoin.

In the past year or so, it has come to be a known fact in Bitcoin technical circles that Bitcoin, in its current form,...
