There has been ~no progress on EC Breaking with: yukon.org/curvesmash
an open competition for breaking curves faster. (Thus far its been Cheon's attack parameterization on Powers of Tau setup, and generic time/space trade-off optimizations + known EC technique integration)

If you want to argue that public-key crypto is ending, it is not too much to ask that you have SOME EMPIRICAL BASIS for that claim. "Computers are good at math" is not a fact that is prima facie even RELATED to the q of whether p-k crypto is computationally difficult to break.

The destination of newly issued ZEC is a critical aspect of consensus design and remains untouched by the Network Sustainability Mechanism(NSM).
What the NSM enables is new sources of issuance support via different mechanisms for burning ZEC.

Shouts out to @cyberaxe, @zooko, and everyone who built this competition—this isn't just a contest, it's actively rewriting the security playbook for the entire crypto community.
@zooko, if you wanted #HashSmash to spark real warfare on the frontier, @cyberaxe is delivering the ust wrapped a relentless 25-hour run across 4 systems tackling SHA Round 39+ (with Mythos)—mapping ~0.03% of uncharted territory across SHA-256, SHA3-256, Blake3, and Poseidon. Zero collisions, but mapping the sheer edges of the cryptographic landscape is the win.
Custom tools and telemetry drop this week before they pivot to #CurveSmash. This is the exact elite-tier execution your arena was designed to pull out of people. ⚡

We did a 25 hour run on 4 systems SHA Round 39+. Including with Mythos and found nothing. The fact we didnt' get any UNSAT or SAT is in itself research and a result but the question become how long do let tests run hoping to find something. We're in the tunnel but can't find the issues are now each can rake minutes-to an unknown amount of time, hour, days, week, months, years even looking for collisions using our best guesses and tool where they should be.
#HashSmash @yukonresearch @Zooko's Contest.
No one in history has found one. Only options is to keep gather data and trying. But I think this will be it for this contest. We've maxed out all of options I can find across SHA-256, SHA3-256, Blake3 and Poseidon tracks.
Next for us is to focus on the #CurveSmash and see what we can discover over there.
Over the next few days I'll upload everything we found and tools we improved and created so others can learn from them and stuff that didn't work doesnt' need retried.
Overall we scanned about 0.03% of SHA landscape overall in the best places we could find to look.
I learned alot overall and think we can use this system to bug bounty and help secure other systems. Working on CurveSmash next will give more practice to test the Ai's and our methods.

@Zac_Aztec/t.chashsma.shges have confirmed the breakthrough that was made by @FutureDies@FutureDies a new collision attack for round 39 of SHA256 that is faster than brute force search.
Within few days, Dariia and the other HashSmash participants: @cyberaxe, @privacymage, @lamb356_, and @geeknik, made the collision attack 90 times cheaper.
You can read the details of the technique and minute-to-minute logs in @FutureDies's excellent writeup eternax.ai/blogs/sha-256-…
We also saw some marginal progress over many other rounds across all four hash functions.
