Thirty years before creating the crypto-enabled Brave browser in 2015, Brendan Eich was a young developer at Netscape, the company Marc Andreessen co-founded with fellow entrepreneur and computer scientist Jim Clark after coding the first web browser as a student at the University of Illinois. Eich was charged with creating a working prototype of a new computer scripting language in a week in order to compete with Microsoft. He succeeded, and what is now known as JavaScript is the most popular programming language, used by 68% of developers according to a survey by… Read More John Packel * Image by pikisuperstar on Freepik Bitcoin, Security, Technology UNDERMINING BITCOIN’S ECDSA PART 2 OF A LOOK AT THE THREATS QUANTUM COMPUTING POSES FOR CRYPTO November 10, 2023 / In the first installment of this series, we introduced the concept of “quantum computing” and how, while still experimental, its implications for blockchain security include the potential exposure of public keys, the theft of funds—and thus the transformation of cryptocurrencies as we know them. That article focused on the SHA-256 algorithm’s contribution to Bitcoin security primarily via its consensus mechanism, but SHA-256 is only one side of the coin so to speak. In this second part, we will examine the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). A signature algorithm deeply embedded within the Bitcoin protocol, ECDSA adds a layer of authentication by linking a public key with its corresponding private… Read More Colin Tierney * Image of the email that announced the Bitcoin white paper Bitcoin, Innovators, Technology BITCOIN IS 15, AND THE TRIBUTES ARE LEGION COMMEMORATING SATOSHI NAKAMOTO’S SEMINAL WHITE PAPER OUTLINING A PEER-TO-PEER ELECTRONIC CASH SYSTEM IN 2008 October 31, 2023 / On the 15th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto publishing the Bitcoin white paper, Modern Consensus has gathered a selection of tributes – a mix of the poignant, the thought provoking and since Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gensler felt the need to weigh in, the clownish. Bitcoin Magazine One of the very first publications devoted to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Magazine was co-founded in 2012 by a 17-year-old Vitalik Buterin, whose father had piqued his interest in the young technology the year before – and who went on to invent Ethereum, announcing it in his own white paper in November 2013.

Digital currency transactions highlight how U.S. and Israel have struggled to sever the access of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah to foreign funding.” The story stated: “Digital-currency wallets that Israeli authorities linked to the PIJ received as much as $93 million in crypto between August 2021 and June this year, analysis by leading crypto researcher Elliptic showed.” It also cited research by crypto analytics firm BitOK suggesting that Hamas received $41 million.
