Bitcoin Could Be Quantum-Safe Without Protocol Changes, New Proposal Claims
Authored by Micah Zimmerman via Bitcoin Magazine.coim
A new research proposal claims it can make Bitcoin transactions resistant to quantum attacks without changing the network's core rules, a goal that has drawn attention as concerns grow over future cryptographic risks.
In a paper published on April 9, Avihu Levy of StarkWare outlined “Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transactions Without Softforks,” introducing a scheme called Quantum Safe Bitcoin, or QSB. The design aims to protect transactions from threats posed by quantum computers while remaining compatible with the existing Bitcoin protocol.
The proposal targets a known vulnerability in Bitcoin's current design. Standard transactions rely on ECDSA signatures over the secp256k1 curve. In theory, a sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could potentially break this system by solving discrete logarithms, which would allow attackers to forge...

Car-Shopping Websites Report Uptick In EV Interest Following Gasoline Price Shock
March brought the biggest fuel price shock Americans have experienced on record, or at least according to AAA data going back to the early 2000s.
A fuel price shock changes consumer behavior, especially for low-income households, by forcing folks to drive less, combine trips, cancel discretionary travel, or shift to carpooling and public transit.
For those who have the financial flexibility to do so, a fuel price shock may push some consumers toward smaller cars, hybrids, and EVs and away from large SUVs and trucks, because fuel economy suddenly matters much more.
The Wall Street Journal reports that a $4-per-gallon national average for gasoline, a politically sensitive level, is the threshold at which some consumers are beginning to think about EVs again.
Online car-shopping platforms such as Cars.com and Edmunds have reported a modest uptick in EV interest among users on their platforms in recent weeks.

Climate Organization Behind Anti-ICE Protests Is Leading May 1 School Walkout Plan, Parent Group Reports
Authored by Aaron Gifford via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
One of the main organizations behind the recent protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations is encouraging children to walk out of class en masse next month to help promote its agenda, which includes achieving what it said are “Eco-socialism, [a] multi-racial democracy, and Green New Deal legislation,” according to a April 8 report by representatives of parent group Defending Education.
