The Taproot decision did, somewhat, back in 2020, on the bitcoin devs mailing list. But I guess that feedback wasn't taken seriously, especially by core dev Pieter Wuille.

Just the signature algorithm. Hashing isn't nearly as vulnerable as elliptic curve cryptography.

2025-02-21 06:03:16

It's kinda thinking about it backwards... Basically, there's the scriptPubKey and the witness... The scriptPubKey contains a SegWit v1 opcode for Taproot plus a 32 byte x-only public key. This is the address you send funds to. Then, to spend them, you have to sign a transaction, then include the 64 byte Schnorr signature in the witness to verify you own the private keys to that address. The efficiency gain here is that the 32 byte public key doesn't need to be included in the witness also (that would cost 8.25 bytes with the 4x witness discount-- 32 / 4 = 8, 1 byte for OP_PUSHBYTES32)

No, it's a public key, not a public key hash. This was done to save 8.25 vB from every P2TR tx, but at the expense of showing the public key in advance.

Yes, Taproot addresses (bc1p) are just encoded public keys, so they are vulnerable.

Notes of mine on the two most recent Jake Barber interviews for those who don't have the time to watch 5 hours of woo woo ufo stuff.
First interview, with Ross Coulthart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t37-SKj4rtY
- There are private crash retrieval programs for various UFOs
- Some are egg-shaped, some are 8-gons, demonstrating Lue Elizondo's "5 observables"
- There are military psionics programs integrating people of different cultures
- There are contaminants in our diet and environment that hinder our latent psionic capabilities
- DW Pasulka's theory that UFOs are gifted technological angels is affirmed
- There's angelic and demonic spiritual forces at play in other dimensions
- UFO contact is undeniable, there a number of public incidents
- Link loss, HPM (?) systems, EMP systems, used to bring down UFOs
- UFOs often emit harmful gamma radiation
- Dr Garry Nolan and Dr Stephen Greer both involved
- A lot of what Greer says is true, he's ahead of everyone
- CE5 is a real protocol for telepathic communication
- UAP can be summoned and piloted telepathically
- Indonesian natives, Native americans, and children engaged
- Left-handed gay men (!!), females, predisposed to the psionic ability
- P3 Program - Psionics, Predisposition, Potential
- Organization is called SkyWatcher, the explorers club
- Gathering at ... Eselem? 2:13 in, wtf wtf wtf???
- There is a profound spritiual component to our existence
Notes on the 2nd Jake Barber interview with Jesse Michels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnnpyNuPdXs
- Air Force was formed 2 weeks after the Roswell incident in 1947
- Same for CIA and DoD
- Straddles the "Blue/Black Line"
- Rendlesham Forest incident - Britain's Roswell
- He's working with AARO
- Provided UAP demonstrations to AARO leadership
- SkyWatcher technologies - Private UAP investigations
- There are 8 classes of UAP, ranging from ground-based supernatural phenomenon to objects in the sky
- Working with Dr. Garry Nolan, a Nobel-nominated Stanford professor
- Jesse Michels - Um, I'm sorry, wdym by 'psionic asset???'
- An individual trained in remote viewing, psychic abilities, telekinesis, through a number of different protocols where they're highly sensitive to consciousness fields
- Two types of summoning
- Machine-based - signals and energy systems that can be turned on and activated to summon or attract UAP... which is a very broad term
- Man-based -
- Consciousness is a field, it's like the world wide web, it's full of all sorts of interesting things
- Psionics experts can tap into this consciousness field through mindful meditation, as an observer, not a driver
- They've experimented on children to make them better at psionics
- If you can trigger fight or flight, trigger the amygdala, subduing intellect through dissociation, there are chemical ways to do that, there are more proactive ways through meditation, heighten intuition
- Have to be comfortable, can't be hungry, tired, horny, hot, etc., so the limbic part of your brain is satisfied
- Stress inoculation, dissociation, hardware, non-intrusive ultrasound system that can target the brain and induce or take the edge or struggle from transitioning into that state, reproducing and demonstrating all that's gone on in a clean and free environment, to transition from the intellect and into the intuition
- There's a random number generator, the ultrasound is run into the brain, the individual can influence the random number generator, they can make it go up and make it go down
- Does this mean there are quantum effects? People can influence, say, an avalanche noise generator?
- Z-score??? The rebound effect? Snap back effect? Local mean reversion
- Through consciousness they can affect reality
- There's a practical application of this, you put someone out there, support them, have data collection equipment, and then put them in a work suite, like a faraday cage, so when the phenomenon shows up, does the RNG move when it's in their radar
- A multisensory corroboration
- There are American paramilitary units that go after UAP
- Psionic assets are highly coveted
- In those programs, there's something valuable about the life experience in third world countries, in that people that live a simpler life and are outdoors more and have less contaminants in their food and their drugs and their culture seem to be a bit better at dissociating and heightening their intuition
- The USG lost control over private crash retrieval programs led by aerospace contractors a long time ago
- Dick Cheney might have been a gatekeeper for the legacy UAP program
- There's no monolithic "Men in Black", just hundreds of thousands of individuals trained in working in secrecy
- There may have been at one point though, because later they go into how JFK may have been assassinated for his interested in UFOs, which lines up well with other other timelines related to UFOs.
- The best place to hide the truth is in a pile of horseshit. A lot of works of fiction might contain things that are true due to the DOPSR process.
- Aliens could be both good and bad.
- Jake describes his own hitchhiker effect, where a UAP similar to a seraphim.
- He wants us to decentralize the investigation of the phenomenon. Just go out, project good energy, put out there what you want to see. If you walk outside and open your heart and ask for something specific.

Yes, you are both right; but Grover's is much harder to run than Shor's, so signatures are the most vulnerable, then 160-bit hashes. 256-bit hashes are very very hard, and might require a truly enormous computer to be competitive with ASICs. But once those achieve advantage, miners will just upgrade and in 2 weeks or so things will be alright again.

More optimal correction code approaches allow QCs to use fewer physical qubits to make logical qubits. Once they have enough logical qubits, they can break crypto.
At 105 qubits, we're still pretty far from that, though. It depends how efficient they are, but it'll probably require millions of physical qubits and thousands of logical qubits.
