Peter McCormack may be an acknowledged expert in cryptocurrency

Peter McCormack may be 'an acknowledged expert in cryptocurrency' - though I've noticed he spends most of his journalists time shilling for Bitcoin. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/01/craig-wright-wins-only-n… But none of the slack the Manchester Guardian cuts him translates in any way to cypherpunk revolution and cryptoanarchy. In those departments McCormack has already expressed his preference for the UK state under the fag-ends of a discredited, corrupt, theocratic aristocracy. I trust his latest lawyer charged him an arm and a leg cos I'm coming after his head.

Craigs list

Craig S Wright writes the list sporadically in the 90's then there's a flurry in the late noughties. Just skimming through some of his messages from au and there appears to be regular spelling errors. Some quite long passages of Satoshi-grade prose are then marred by a rather glaring mistake. https://marc.info/?w=1&r=1&s=craig+Wright&q=a Contra Matonis, Ayre, etc I repeat Wright is NOT ' Satoshi Nakamoto ". Just as Assange is NOT a cypherpunk revolutionary. Cryptoanarchy has a broad back and can shrug off the insider threats of those who actions resemble its worst enemies. Btw - one of these longtime enemies - Bill Gates has also been described as autistic.

Phys.org: Quantum cryptography: Making hacking futile

Phys.org: Quantum cryptography: Making hacking futile. https://phys.org/news/2022-07-quantum-cryptography-hacking-futile.html The Internet is teeming with highly sensitive information. Sophisticated encryption techniques generally ensure that such content cannot be intercepted and read. But in the future high-performance quantum computers could crack these keys in a matter of seconds. It is just as well, then, that quantum mechanical techniques not only enable new, much faster algorithms, but also exceedingly effective cryptography. Quantum key distribution (QKD)—as the jargon has it—is secure against attacks on the communication channel, but not against attacks on or manipulations of the devices themselves. The devices could therefore output a key which the manufacturer had previously saved and might conceivably have forwarded to a hacker. With device- independent QKD (abbreviated to DIQKD), it is a different story. Here, the cryptographic protocol is independent of the device used. Theoretically known since the 1990s, this method has now been experimentally realized for the first time, by an international research group led by LMU physicist Harald Weinfurter and Charles Lim from the National University of Singapore (NUS). For exchanging quantum mechanical keys, there are different approaches available. Either light signals are sent by the transmitter to the receiver, or entangled quantum systems are used. In the present experiment, the physicists used two quantum mechanically entangled rubidium atoms, situated in two laboratories located 400 meters from each other on the LMU campus. The two locations are connected via a fiber optic cable 700 meters in length, which runs beneath Geschwister Scholl Square in front of the main building. To create an entanglement, first the scientists excite each of the atoms with a laser pulse. After this, the atoms spontaneously fall back into their ground state, each thereby emitting a photon. Due to the conservation of angular momentum, the spin of the atom is entangled with the polarization of its emitted photon. The two light particles travel along the fiber optic cable to a receiver station, where a joint measurement of the photons indicates an entanglement of the atomic quantum memories.

Pastor Craig Wright & Journalist Assange both on autistic spectrum
by professor rat 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Doctor Wright just won his latest court case where it emerged he has Asperger's syndrome. Back in 27 Oct 2021 — A lawyer for " PROFF " Julian Assange ( Mendax ) told a British court that the WikiLeaks founder is suffering from an autism disorder. For the record, I asked my then 2002 case-worker if it was possible I had Aspergers and this was ruled out. It is also the case that I am not an academic and use the nym ' Professor ' as a nom de plume / nom de guerre being based on " Doctor Rat " a book by William Kotzwinkle. Its not Machiavellianism when you're upfront with your self-description.

LOL-GOP, Qanon and the moronic inferno ( but do I repeat myself? ) >>> Truth Social, which was launched by his company Trump Media & Technology Group in February, was created to “fight back against Big Tech.” It aimed to become a home for Trump, who was banned from Twitter, and right-wing audiences who falsely believe mainstream social media platforms were censoring them by enforcing rules on misinformation and extremism. <<< https://www.mediamatters.org/truth-social/how-devin-nunes-and-kash-patel-ap… Reposts etc

To date, all Bell tests have supported the theory of quantum physics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test#:~:text=A%20Bell%20test%2C%20also%2…. Reality then has a well-known non-local bias. Your mileage may not vary.
