Tesla Roadster Rocket Is the Cool 'Flying' Car You Can’t Have
Tesla's new Roadster drove up an upside-down ramp, flew off the end, flipped in midair, and landed on its wheels. The livestreamed demo took place October 15 at a SpaceX test site in Texas, where the car also hopped over a row of Teslas that included a Semi truck. The stunt drew oohs and aahs on social media, especially on X where the announcement gathered over 10 million views. Myriad: How much will Elon Musk be worth? Click to make your prediction.

How Zcash Plans to Hide Your Keys From AI and Quantum Attacks
While much of crypto is still debating “bunker mode,” one team of Zcash developers says it already has a plan. Zakura, which builds a Zcash full node, said its team expects post-quantum signature opcodes to land in Zcash in January. Opcodes are low-level instructions that would let the network verify a new type of signature. Myriad: Where does Ethereum go next? Click to make your prediction.

Will AI Break Crypto Encryption? Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin Weighs In on 'Bunker Mode' Shift
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says it is "plausible" for artificial intelligence to break encryption within the next two years. As a result, he believes the industry needs to protect itself from AI-vulnerable cryptography, as well as quantum-vulnerable cryptography. It comes just a day after Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake called on the industry to plan for "bunker mode" by moving funds to addresses whose public keys haven't been exposed. Drake said that it's now reasonable to...

Ethereum Researcher Says AI May Break Encryption Before Quantum Does
Justin Drake has spent years warning that quantum computers could one day crack crypto's cryptography. Now the Ethereum Foundation researcher says artificial intelligence might get there first. "Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for 'bunker mode,'" Drake wrote on X on Wednesday. His recommendation is a controlled, mass migration of funds to fresh addresses that have never signed a transaction, which keep their public keys hidden behind a hash. Myriad: Where does...
