1/ Our quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction cost ~$320 in GPU compute. Can you bring that down? Today, we’re launching the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Autoresearch Challenge in partnership with Yukon and Eigen Labs. Over $20,000 in rewards for improving the code:

2/ In April, Avihu Levy published a way to create quantum-safe Bitcoin transactions without changing Bitcoin’s consensus rules. The team then put it into practice on mainnet. The next step: bring down the computational cost of generating these transactions.

3/ The recent Quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction required about 3,100 GPU-hours of brute-force hashing across roughly 100 GPUs. The hashing code was built quickly with AI assistance and shipped once it worked. How much faster can it run? That’s the challenge.

4/ The mainnet demo cost ~$320 in GPU compute. Help bring that down by optimizing QSB’s transaction pinning and subset selection. Over $20,000 in rewards, with $2,000 distributed in the first week. Benchmark, rules and submissions:

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs this tech is too advanced for this century i ll be honest

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs we're lowering it for brother Eli, don't worry

@eigenlabs So stoked to have this challenge. Can’t wait to see the results. Getting on it right now!

@eigenlabs so stoked to have you as partner for this!

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs insane work team.

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs incredible work

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs The quantum architects LETS GOOOO

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs changing my bio now

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs About time

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Next level of tech

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs incredible tech

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Post-quantum security = StarkWare

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs louder i guess

@Reemjie76 @yukonresearch @eigenlabs Time to be more bullish with the tech

@Reemjie76 @yukonresearch @eigenlabs always

@eigencloud @yukonresearch @eigenlabs Wow! Cool contest!!

@eigencloud @yukonresearch @eigenlabs join us!

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Quantum Safe, we’re already there

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs closer every day

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs if we don't go below $100 i'm going bald. brb

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs easy bet tbh

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Taking this one

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs lfgg

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs $320 in compute for one quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction is a serious optimization target. This challenge is a good way to push that cost down.

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs this is the starting point, we're targeting way looooower

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Quantum-safe Bitcoin, now entering the optimization arc.

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs real

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs LG!!! reduce the computational cost like a boss

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs YES

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs Impressive stuff fr! Wanted to see @avihu28 doing some Upward-Facing Dog Yoga pose too though 🧘

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs @avihu28 we’ll make sure he does it for the next video 🤝

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs send your clankrs!!!

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs count me in

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs $320 in GPU per transaction is an impressive benchmark

@yukonresearch @eigenlabs 看看arb的差距
