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)
- Yokohiii 10y agoWhat does that have to do with git?
- petertodd 10y agoI'm not aware of any crypto currencies that rely on SHA1. Can you name one that does?
- rurban 10y agoBitcoin is a popular one. 2 sha-1 rounds.
- Retr0spectrum 10y agoNo, it uses SHA-256
- yuhong 10y agoI wonder what would the effect be if there was one.
