If hashing can be broken, we are fucked all around. All our information systems are based on that. Have you come across any projects that are reimagining encryption from the ground up?
I’ve been pointing out this problem for about five years.
I don’t think we’re there yet. But when we are, it will be a while before we notice.
I honestly don’t think most crypto investors understand that they never own crypto, only their key does. And it can be reverse engineered with sufficient computing power.
And reimagining from the ground up? I’m all for it, but don’t know of any. As it is now, the idea that we have hard puzzles as the inefficient foundation of trust and value strikes me as a bit stupid.
