As an experiment, he launched a risk engine with a 5 SOL pool and publicly challenged anyone to hack the system and steal the funds.

🍿 A quantum computer for the first time demonstrated a real attack on elliptic curve cryptography — a researcher recovered a 15-bit key and received 1 BTC from Project Eleven for it.
The threat to Bitcoin is still very far off — BTC uses 256-bit keys, and cracking them requires orders of magnitude more power than current capabilities.
But the fact itself is important: the quantum threat to blockchains increasingly looks not like science fiction, but a matter of time and engineering progress.

🪙 The film Finding Satoshi puts forward the theory that two people were behind Satoshi Nakamoto: Hal Finney and Len Sassaman: the former handled the code, the latter handled the texts and communications.
The authors cite similar digital footprints, both men's involvement in the cryptographic community, and oddities in Satoshi's activity, which are more easily explained by the pair working together.
An additional argument is that Satoshi disappeared in 2011, and both candidates are now deceased, which could explain the untouched bitcoins.
