"This rebuttal to my post attacks positions that I did not take and presents technical developments without appropriate context. 1) My post does not say that signatures/blockchains are less vulnerable than encryption. The same algorithms that break one break the other. It says that a post-quantum transition for encryption is more urgent due to HNDL attacks. This cannot be in dispute: anyone who transitions to PQ signatures before a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) arrives cannot be attacked but this is not the case for encryption due to HNDL. 2) My post does not argue that"

"I have great respect for @succinctJT and the a16z team. But I disagree with the argument that quantum computing is not an urgent problem for blockchains. The threat is closer the progress faster and the fix harder than how hes framing it & than most people realize. 👇 0/ 1/ Quantum computing predictions lately range from "public key cryptography will be broken in [--] years" to "it's a century away." Both are wrong. My latest post explains what publicly known progress actually supports and what blockchains should do about it. Thread below 🧵 https://t.co/jTCkqN6upB 1/ Quantum computing"

"19/ Bottom line: match urgency to actual threats. Encryption: urgent (HNDL). Signatures: deliberate. SNARKs: ZK property stays secure; soundness vulnerable post-CRQC. And above all bugs remain the bigger near-term risk"
