Crazy that the main bottleneck for all things crypto right now is ultimately lack of a PQ-secure threshold signature scheme if you look far ahead enough
@blknoiz06@ceterispar1bus they'll all get done this year.
123 already passed & almost code complete.
547 (discussion) & 553 (SIMD) are the same thing.
