Unless I'm missing something in the calculation, 2^80 / (10 billion * 10ghz) = 12089 seconds, not years, which does flip his point re: 2^128 being uncomfortably risky if you want to factor in potential improvements.

If you're already using programs to help you, I don't see how you can be upset if someone else is cheating better than you are.

A useful high language for cryptography would likely have to: * Not compile to C because you'd be left with the same doubts that the generated machine code is constant time * Not use gcc / clang internally to generate machine code

I think it means seibelj works for Circle and is shilling their stablecoin. The irony is that the entirety of "crypto" outside of the people doing the academic work for it is not just vaguely sketchy, but extremely sketchy.

How, exactly, does Bitcoin (and other shitcoins) being nominally 'decentralized', and whose main use after 10 years is still speculation and scams, relate to nazis and right wing trolls occasionally get kicked off twitter?

Not to volunteer, but they can be parallelized, just not in the same manner as dalek. Even with the schnorr-style signatures (to avoid scalar inversions) and the endomorphism I still think it'd be slower, the group ops are nasty.

Offloading all of the costs and risks on to your unorganized "independent contractors" is the whole point of the gig economy from the business side. You can't disrupt things if you behave responsibly.

That Salsa implementation is not being vectorized? Salsa also requires some values to be shuffled around to actually work in SSE registers, djb made a bit of a boo-boo when designing it. Chacha fixes that, so its SIMD implementations are a

Basic Chacha C implementations do not get auto-vectorized down to ultra-efficient code. The most efficient implementations are intrinsic/assembler that process 4 (SSE2/AVX/NEON) or 8 (AVX2) Chacha20 blocks at once. This is du
