  the ratio of relevant new relevant to this problem information/new information is low. If a low signal/noise ratio is still the purpose of information then the thread is less interesting than Linus mail: - if we add size it will make forgery harder - yes SHA1 should be replaced What linus is missing is people rewriting history. This will not be a concern for git, but certainly will for any crypto currency relying on SHA1 in a close future. (Hint this transaction belonged to me)

    What does that have to do with git?

    I'm not aware of any crypto currencies that rely on SHA1. Can you name one that does?
    • rurban 10y ago
      Bitcoin is a popular one. 2 sha-1 rounds.

        No, it uses SHA-256

      I wonder what would the effect be if there was one.
