This tweet of CfB is priceless.

I love how the other one immediately gives up.

Ah well, that was just a "postdoctoral researcher in quantum cryptography", CfBs regular breakfast.
46
During the last three days that guy constantly vomited his "irrefutable proof" onto Twitter. Suddenly he claims not be be a cryptographer while his own bio states "postdoctoral researcher in quantum cryptography".
I so f***ing love these wannabe social media celebrities constantly trying to forge their own image as being superior - until they are put down by a single tweet from CfB.

Lmao, CfB must be almost running out of breakfast with this tempo

I really like this one - “It wasn't addressed because cryptographers know the difference between collision resistance (which was "broken") and 2nd-preimage resistance (which was shown to be strong) and hence don't need an explanation of an obvious thing. The others won't get the explanation anyway.”

Check his account. He gave up 12h ago but is still bashing Curl 6h ago on hos own account. He is probably being cynical.

In CfB we trust.

He answered: "I was not aware of this (nope, I'm no cryptographer)." LOL https://twitter.com/Jogenfors/status/1002093182157492224

"Nope I'm no cryptographer" - Jonathan Jogenfors, Postdoctoral researcher quantum cryptography and blockchain tech. PhD, Linköping University.

I honestly don't know why anybody listens to Jonathan. The dude is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and he's talking like he's a world expert in Quantum physics and all things crypto.

On that note: What’s up with “Professor” Matthew Green? He’s been really quiet lately. Did anyone check whether he’s OK?
10
Another wannabe social media celebrity. He is an Assistant Professor at Hopkins, which is not exactly a crypto-powerhouse. Hopkins is known for Medicine and not for Engineering or math degrees. In fact in Engineering, Hopkins is similar ranked to other much less known institutions such as College Park

Isn’t he IOTAs prime concern troll, pretending to be an authority amongst cryptographers? He seemingly didn’t jump on the bandwagon this time.
Maybe he actually learned something about cryptography (or just noticed his twitter stats nosediving and moved on).

Because he is an actual Professor and his actions online have consequences. If he stakes his anti-IOTA claims too deeply then that's all he will be reminded for when IOTA becomes mainstream. I, for one, fully intend to remind him that he bashed IOTA non stop if he is ever at conference presenting anything favorable about IOTA as he is bound to do at some point when IOTA becomes the de-facto crypto currency. I will remind him that he was one of the anti-IOTA crowd at the very beginning.

I am following Matthew Green on Twitter, and recently he there have been people questioning him who at least seem to know something. And prof. Green has had to admit that he has no proof that current use of CURL-P in IOTA would be exploitable in any known way.
Also some time ago he blurted, that he considers it to be for a researcher to talk to press under embargo to "spin them up" while a potentially vulnerability is still being clarified with software vendor. The thing that caused CFB to go ballistic when it happened in MIT DCI case. Something that he may regret, since it looks super dodgy.

Last time i checked he was in the shower crying, i suppose he is still there. Someone better get him a partnership or something, poor soul wont survive for long :( ... i was talking to my companies janitor, he would love to partner with Dr. Prof. Ing. Msc. Psy. M.D D Psy. Green

@Jogenfors To make it easier for you to understand what they did:
They took SHA-3, removed the padding rule, broke SHA-3 2nd-preimage resistance.
Anyone can "break" SHA-3 without the padding rule.

Meanwhile, I'd like to call your attention to this priceless tweet from our friend cybergibblets: https://twitter.com/cybergibbons/status/1002302042466119680

He actually uses that name on reddit and comes to the sub to bash IOTA--he's either a professional troll or has a very empty life.

Did anyone read Jonatans phd thesis on the Quantum Bitcoin? Really interested in an TL;DR!

Just finished.. what would be the an interesting TL;DR?

The answer to your question is somewhere in IOTA Foundation responses on the matter
1
It's pretty noticeable that *like clockwork* these people speak out whenever IOTA is on the horizon of doing well. They know exactly what they are doing with same old FUD, it's getting embarrassing.
Sadly, I have to agree. And in a way, IOTA getting on detractors' nerves and attracting undeserved criticism is a good indication that IOTA is on the way up again:) I think this is a well established pattern in crypto market and happens whenever a certain coin shoots up in price, so I don't really care about it any more.
