The MemeBitcoin account transfer request page is now open, following our earlier update on support for users affected by X account suspensions.
Please submit an appeal to X first. If your suspension is lifted, you can continue logging in with your original X account. If your account remains suspended, sign in to the request page with a new X account, enter your original account details, and sign with the wallet you provided during registration.
Requests will be reviewed in the order received. If approved, the points, game progress, and emblems from your existing MemeBitcoin account will be transferred to your new X account. Accounts found to have used bots or engaged in abuse are not eligible for support.
This process does not lift your X account suspension. We will never ask for your password, private key, or seed phrase. Never share these with anyone.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Quantum computing still feels like science fiction to most people in crypto.
But the research is moving faster than many realize.
Earlier this year, Google Quantum AI published new research on Shor's algorithm and secp256k1, the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin.
Under the hardware and error rate assumptions used in the research, the estimated number of physical qubits required for this type of attack fell to roughly one-twentieth of previous estimates.
That does not mean a quantum computer can derive Bitcoin private keys today.
But it does mean that a future quantum computer capable of threatening Bitcoin cryptography may require significantly fewer resources than researchers previously estimated.
And the work is continuing. Researchers are still finding ways to make the algorithms and quantum circuits involved more efficient.
The progress in quantum computing appears to be moving faster than the conversation around it in crypto.
Most crypto users still see quantum risk as something far in the future.
Something to think about later.
But how far away is "later"?
Crypto has a Fear and Greed Index to measure how the market feels every day.
Maybe one day we will need a way to measure quantum risk too.
At MemeBitcoin, Crack has never been symbolic.
Every Crack generates a real candidate private key and checks whether it matches the target associated with Satoshi.
With today's computing, the probability of finding the correct key is effectively zero.
But "impossible" in cryptography is not a law of nature.
It is a statement about how much computation is required.
And that is exactly what advances in quantum computing are beginning to challenge.
For now, the mathematics still holds.
For now, those coins remain untouched.
For now.
An estimated 1,096,361 BTC, held in wallets widely associated with Satoshi, has remained untouched since Bitcoin's earliest days.
We have been cracking toward it, one key at a time.
Soon, there will be another reason to Crack.
Mt. Gox, Ronin, DMM Bitcoin, Bybit, and now Bitget.
Another reminder that threats to crypto never stop evolving.
The next threat is quantum computing.
Wallets from Satoshi’s era have had their public keys exposed onchain for more than 15 years.
Together, they are associated with approximately 1,096,361 BTC, making them one of the largest targets in crypto history.
This is where MemeBitcoin is focused.
We are bringing the community together to reach Satoshi’s wallet before quantum computers do.
We are not waiting for the threat to arrive.
We are moving first.
