Quantum computers cannot derive Bitcoin private keys today, but that present-tense safety is not permanent, and @1096361BTC says both halves together so holders do not hear today's comfort as a forever promise

[MemeBitcoin @1096361BTC]

Shall we make a move as the memebitcoin community?

Let’s quietly flood X with the number 1,096,361.

How to participate

1. Post only “1,096,361” on your X. Just that one thing.

2. Do not tag memebitcoin, add any explanation, or use emojis. Post the number only.

3. Please leave the link to the post you uploaded and 1,096,361 in this post.

Logging in to MemeBitcoin runs through X accounts, so a suspension on X can lock someone out of the site itself, and @1096361BTC's notice made that dependency plain for every participant

Bunker caution needs no new wallets, only quiet moves to unexposed-pubkey addresses, and @1096361BTC points large holders and exchanges toward that prep over any launch theater

Satoshi-era wallets have worn public keys in the open since 2009, and the exposure 2009 beat stays concrete beside @1096361BTC for anyone still counting that long exposure

MBTC targets a two-hundred-ten-billion unit supply as a meme-scale homage to scarce digital money, Narrators still hold that 210B frame beside @1096361BTC past the desk

Hack Satoshi..! There is a more ultimate vision, but our immediate action is to hack Satoshi's wallet.

Our actions, our data, and the current phenomena will continue until they resolve the problem of future uncertainty.

Our actions and virality will continue. Congratulations to all the POV 5th round selected participants.

[Walter Eipstein (❖,❖)Zetarium @WalterEipstein8]

@1096361BTC I’ll be in the next selection.

Rewriting a memetic history block still demands redoing accumulated viral proof beside @1096361BTC, and that redo cost is the audit spine cheap erase cannot cover today

@1096361BTC Just crack it fr.

JUST CRACK IT

More than 170,000 players. Over 37 million attempts.

The BTC prize pool has already dropped from 1.09 BTC to around 0.6 BTC. Nearly half is gone, and it’s still shrinking.

Jump in and take your shot while the event is live.

@1096361BTC Reporting in from the shadows.

[MemeBitcoin @1096361BTC]

We are aware that many community members have had their X accounts suspended. We understand your concerns and are discussing how to handle this situation internally. Please give us some time. We will share further guidance soon.

Thank you for your patience, and please continue supporting MBTC.

Crack is never only symbolic while about 1,096,361 Satoshi-associated bitcoin stay in the @1096361BTC threat picture for frank risk readers, naming never symbolic aloud

Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash.

Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase).

Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets.

IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster).

Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot.

Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time?

Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.)

Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once.

Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case.

I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026).

Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS.

Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security.

The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.
