Submission + - Newsweek Bitcoin Story unravels 80 years of high editorial and ethical standards

Submitted by sumoinsanity
sumoinsanity writes: A succinct and comprehensive rebuttal has been distributed from this particular Mr Nakamoto.

How embarrassing.

Newsweek copped a lot of criticism regarding their original expose on the purported uncovering of a BitCoin founder following their two month investigation. They defended with, "Ms. Goodman’s research was conducted under the same high editorial and ethical standards that have guided Newsweek for more than 80 years. Newsweek stands strongly behind Ms. Goodman and her article."

It is perhaps best not to link to their original stories and provide them with clicks.

Submission + - NSA quantum compute effort disclosed 2

Submitted by sumoinsanity
sumoinsanity writes: Schrödinger's cat is "probably" still in the bag as disclosed by the Washington Post. Perhaps it is both disturbing and reassuring as discussed here. The reassuring part is that PKI is still OK when done properly as the NSA desires to break it with Quantum Crypto. The disturbing bit is that it is perhaps just a matter of time before PKI succumbs and our private parts are out there for all to see :-|
