Wait, so this project is building a "quantum collider" to crack Satoshi's private keys?
Most of us are busy dodging supply chain attacks, public Wi-Fi hacks, phishing approvals, and contract exploits. Meanwhile, Satoshi's 1,096,361 $BTC sitting in early addresses have had their public keys exposed on-chain since 2009.
@1096361BTC turned this into a community experiment: anyone can run 10 cracking attempts per day. They've already logged 20M+ attempts. Sure, the odds are worse than winning the lottery, but it puts a real question on the table—if quantum computing actually breaks through, are those early coins still safe?
BNB Chain already tested post-quantum signature migration this year. Result? Transaction data bloated 20x, throughput cut in half. Technically possible, but expensive as hell.
SAFU used to mean protecting against today's approvals and exploits. Now it might also mean protecting against tomorrow's broken cryptography.
@cz_binance @heyibinance—if Satoshi's early addresses ever move under suspicious circumstances, will Binance preemptively flag quantum-risk addresses, or wait until those $BTC hit the exchange?
