Some thoughts on all this. Of course everyone is thinking about crypto-currencies with this process. They are a HUGE target and will be destroyed but, IMO they are a small portion of where this will go. Of primary importance is the idea that this creation cannot be lost. I have been backing up the breads here to the best of my ability. So many technologies have been suppressed and buried over the years. Much of the troubles we have in the world are related to that fact. It is frustrating and difficult to accept but I am pretty much convinced this is true. I fear that going after BTC as an early example of this will cause a colossal shit-storm. I haven’t mentioned much about cryptos since coming here but I have been following them since around 2010. I managed to mine a tiny bit in the early days. Certainly not enough to be called wealth but it was something. Most importantly I learned a LOT and found an accepting community. Everyone will want to go for the Satoshi wallets… or simply mine the rest of the block chain in a single day or something like that. I caution against this action for the following reason.
Those will be high-profile events. Especially the mining. If anyone here managed to crank out the code to pre-mine BTC someone will notice. Instead, simply identify and crack the private keys on “lost” wallets. What I mean about lost wallets is this. There are tons of early BTC wallets whose private keys have been lost. Many of these wallets are vast by today’s standards. Not a lot of people are looking at them. We could all do this for YEARS with no one noticing. There are block chain forensic firms that WILL notice but it will be nothing but a curiosity to them probably for YEARS because of the un-believability of the cracking of this encryption. They will write it off as a super-hodler finally opening that wallet. The reason I say this is because I hope a lot of good will come from this as opposed to it getting buried like all those other technologies. Topol, I think you would be a good face to speak to the media about this but, honestly, they won’t care. They certainly won’t want to hear a REAL story like the one coming from this board and report it as such. It won’t happen. Instead they will try HARD to bury this and bury it DEEP (probably all of you along with it) and probably in the worst way.
I do not have the skills to actually use this tool in its current form but if I did or (if one of you helped me to do it) I would use much of what I gathered cracking lost wallets to try to release buried technologies and to push for Full Disclosure. I would support a man named Steven Grier and do so in a huge way. I want to live in a world with advanced energy technologies at the very least. This is a noble goal in my opinion and one that is worth fighting for. It is the one I will fight for if I have the means to do so. I encourage you to all find something similar to actually help build a new world with this tool. I, again, caution you all deeply to consider carefully before approaching ANY mainstream news or government organization with this in any form at all. Always remember that their goal will be to use the vast (and terrible) resources at their disposal to destroy and hide this VQC tool. If it is given to them FIRST the THEY WILL CONTROL IT. Instead I propose first, each of us set ourselves up so none of us have to waste time at menial jobs and such and can live in some degree of comfort then BUILD STUFF OF VALUE with this thing and give that away for free, essentially under a GNU license or some such thing. Let the world figure it out that way as opposed to pursuing an easily suppressible fame-fest where this tool will be captured, hidden, and then used for nefarious purposes. The media and the government are not our friends, they are the greatest enemy. They WILL use this tool to do harm as opposed to good.
