Stepping Outside Our Bubble - The Fintech Times’ “Quantum Leap”

TL;DR — We were approached a few weeks ago by The Fintech Times writer Matthew Dove, who asked us for our opinions on a number of Quantum Computing related issues. We provided quotes, some of which made it into today’s cover story for TFT, “Quantum Leap”

Introduction Some of what is in this blog might seem somewhat truncated — that is because we are only able to share so much on certain subjects, and are of the opinion that a brief preview is better than silence on an issue. As we continue to move into 2019, we will continue to provide these regularly scheduled updates, as well as other updates for specific events. Development API: Updated address verification documentation Ledger: Adding Ledger Nano S Documentation for QRL App Offline Wallet Generator: Nearing release, new UI/UX (more below) Mobile wallet: Code QA underway, CI/Automated test suite planned Website: Website multilingual support and Polyglot integration in development Python node: OTS bit counter being removed and being replaced with paginated key counter **MongoDB:**2 hours to sync address state to MongoDB Publicity A few weeks ago, we were approached by a writer from The Fintech Times, Matthew Dove. He sent us over a handful of questions related to Quantum Computing and its variable applications, both as a constructive tool, and as a breaker of encrypted systems. You can read more about it in the blog we wrote on it, or just read the article itself. It was exciting to be approached by a publication that is non-endemic to the blockchain industry, and being the only representative of our industry in the article was very fulfilling.

Introduction As snow blankets much of the global north, and we get ready to enter the shortest month of the year, we at QRL are still hard at work trying to get a jump on 2019. This week’s blog will be slightly shorter than some in the past. As always, the length/depth of these blogs is only representative of those efforts of ours that are fit to be shared. As the old saying goes, “Still waters run deep.”

Ledger App Update!

Development qrllib v1.0.4 (and v1.0.2, v1.0.3) QRL Lib v1.0.4 adds a build output from emscripten to instantiate the WebAssembly from base64 encoded qrllib: this allows for the use of qrllib in serverless environments (e.g. offline wallet generation). Which leads to the next advancement to the QRL ecosystem Offline Wallet Generator While it’s possible to generate a wallet offline with our current web and desktop wallets, an initial connection to a server is made. Soon it will be possible to load a few files (currently <5 mb in size) on a USB Flash drive and generate wallets on an airgapped machine, negating the need to even instantiate a connection.
