Yeah I feel though with my job, since I work for Congress, I really shouldn't participate at the moment lol
Who will know?

TBH the US government has the capability to break almost all VPNs and backtrace.... Same with the "private" cryptos like Monero and zcash... they can track all that stuff lol

If they can break Moneros amount and address encryption they can do the same thing to your Bitcoin private keys...

Not quite... that would require functioning quantum computing which in the future could be an issue but not at the moment and more importantly would sink the entire way the world works at the moment because nothing would be safe.
reply
Lmao your explanation is also an argument for Moneros encryption too
Matter of fact Moneros amount privacy is quantum computer proof because pedersen commitments are "perfectly hiding". Same thing for receiver privacy if an adversary can only observe the chain and doesn't have access to the original address.

But… the government already broke it so it’s obviously not quantum proof and we don’t even know what quantum proof completely looks like anyways we think we do but since the tech isn’t there yet we aren’t quite sure. Yes D Wave is leading the way and Google isn’t far behind but it’s still no where close to where it needs to be.

"the government already broke it..."
Big claim but nothing to back it. Show us what makes you think that. And, like I said before, if it is true that they have a quantum computer that can break Moneros encryption, then it also means they can break your Bitcoin private keys and steal your Bitcoin.
"it’s obviously not quantum proof and we don’t even know what quantum proof completely looks like..."
You should learn how Pedersen Commitments work and realize that I'm specifically talking about the hiding property being quantum proof for amount value and receiver address(with the caveat from my previous comment). FCMP upgrade will include sender into this:
""Perfectly" binding or hiding means that even with infinite computing power it would be impossible to break the property"

I quick Brave Search pulls up this quite clear example and even has a former head person involved saying yeah there are information leaks.
Again since we don't understand quantum physics given its interactions with previously thought-to-be-proven physics it is stupid to argue about what quantum proofing is. The tech isn't there yet so why speculate for no reason?
Sorry to burst your bubble but if Finland goes public with cracking Moneros encryption do you really think the US hasn't?
No way....you dont say. Are you saying my incognito tab doesnt work?

</3 sadly tis just an illusion lol
Congressional jobs have no HR and virtually no type of support if there are issue and if a Member wants you gone you can be fired without cause or recourse lololololololol its greatttttttttttttttttttttttt

That doesnt sound like a good job.
