You are someone who works in IT and therefore have a basic understanding of these things. However, I would be interested to know whether you had to familiarize yourself intensively with the topic again in this case or whether it is simply knowledge you have accumulated over the years that you have now called up.

In any case, the article has brought me one step closer to understanding Bitcoin. That's what all the coins I still own are for. 🪙🪙🪙

@Ash Thank you 🧡
I had to read up again on quantum computers and the Grover and Shor algo and the susceptibility to errors. I'd heard all that before, but didn't remember it in a way that I could have just written it down :D

I also read up on the structure of Bitcoin addresses again in Bitcoin & Blockchain by Antonopoulos - I check it out from time to time. It's a really great book that goes into a lot of technical detail (right down to the source code level).

But it took me a really long time to write this post😂 I had the idea weeks ago and had already started writing it - then suddenly Google came around the corner with Willow and I thought "crap, this is a great opportunity, now I have to rewrite the post again" 😆
