Cryptocurrency has done more for computer security than I'd ever expected (basically, instant bug bounty for lots of tech, and an actual market demand for real security vs. compliance-focused games.)

People often ask the question - is 128-bit security enough? Is AES-128 enough for high security applications? In this thread, I’ll do the calculation. I’ll assume that AES should be about 8 times faster than SHA256 in ASIC (this is conservative). 1/n

The Ukrainian parliament has approved a law with a list of rewards for Russian military equipment. Russian soldiers defecting to Ukraine with a warship or a jet can now claim up to $1 million. A tank or an artillery piece would be worth a $100,000 reward.
