The question at that time was, could we pack millions on one chip?

And that was the engineering problem.

That's similar to what the engineering problem is now.

So their conclusion, Google's conclusion, we urge all vulnerable cryptocurrency communities, which is all of us, to join the migration to post-quantum cryptography without delay.

Didn't mention, but the other paper, the Oratomic paper, it's actually...

They have a different architecture and a different style attack.

There's a fast attack, which Google was talking about, and a slower attack that would take days to go attack a key.

But with the slower attack in their message, in their method, they improved Shor's algorithm by 50x.

So in this configuration, it would only take 10,000 reconfigurable atomic qubits to attack.

So there's multiple attack vectors, and at some level, the atomic qubits

Yeah.

And the oratoric paper was even more concerning.

So flashing red lights, you'd think.

Yeah.

I'm not so sure.

I mean, so let's talk about Bitcoin.

Right.

The paper talks about this could be like the level of change that led to the hard fork that created Bitcoin Cash.

Because if you drop performance with new algorithms, then what are you?

Are you a big blocker or a small blocker?
