Some computers are easy to spot. Artificial, human-built computers like those found in smartphones and laptops are abstract dynamic systems with observable computational elements like input, output, ...

The "strawmap" outlines seven forks through the end of the decade, including post-quantum cryptography, shielded transfers, and a 480x reduction in transaction finality time.

The roadmap targets faster finality, native privacy, quantum-resistant cryptography, and gigagas throughput across planned upgrades.

Summary: Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) is a strategy where attackers collect encrypted data today and store it until ...
