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.”

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.

No, IBM’s Quantum Computer won’t break Bitcoin, but we should be prepared for one that can.

Quantum computing that can break blockchain is coming, and it’s time the blockchain community accepts it — so we can prepare ourselves.

TL;DR — This is a cheerful, jovial blog meant to take a fun, non-serious look at where the project is at as 2018 comes to a close, but mostly to have some festive fun before the end of the year. Enjoy!
