I think that someone at NSA invented Bitcoin to supercharge the development of fast encryption/decryption chips. New forms of QC-resistant XXXcoins will be developed for similar reasons. How to leverage NSA's research $$$$$$$$$$$'s. It seems to have worked! Recall that "miners" get paid in Bitcoin, but chip developers get paid in real $$$. Algorithm/SW developers don't need to get paid at all, because they do it for the love of computer science, society and world peace. _______________________________________________ The cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
