I don't think DHTs are the right direction for small data. You're better off spraying the same records across many databases, like nostr relays. This gives you more redundancy, and the implementation is simpler. I think you could even use nostr events by first signing the message with the stronger algorithm, including this in an attribute, then signing the usual way. Even if it becomes possible to forge the outer signature, you can use the old algorithm to find potential events and then filter out those that don't have valid new signatures.
I'm also not concerned about quantum cryptography. So far it seems to be a great way to attract funding and scare cryptologists, but practical advances have been limited. It may be more useful as a tactic to scare people into using unproven, less secure alternatives rather than those that are actually secure today.

I understand the perspective. For a long time getting an LLM to arrive at the right answer took a lot of coaxing and hand holding. I kept doing it because I'm interested in technology and prefer to collect my own data rather than have people tell me what's real. Claude 3.0 Opus was the first to turn the corner of being obviously able to reason about things. It still got a lot wrong, but it was a level above the other models.
Since then, things have gotten better quickly. What used to spit out "intern" level code can now perform at senior+ developer levels when provided the right context and interfaces. That's a big jump in one year. Keeping a similar pace, by next year they will outperform all humans at writing software.
Will they be human? Of course not. But now is the time to figure out how to integrate these new calculators into our lives

There's no such thing as "ASIC resistence". The idea was first popularized by scrypt, but it turns out you can also add a lot of RAM to an ASIC. A few GB isn't even that much anymore. Monero adds some algorithm randomization, but you can add an FPGA to your ASIC... Essentially people can build new ASICs faster than you can get a new PoW adopted
