Using just AI agents, I improved it by ~2x. But I haven’t beat Google’s best classified circuit yet.\nSo, today I'm launching ecdsa(dot)fail -- an open competition for researchers, autoresearchers, and agents to beat Google.\nDownload the CLI, point your agent at it, and start optimizing.\n\n00:00", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guy-beats-one-of-the-best-published-quantum-circuits-for-breaking-ecdsa-with-ai", "canonical_source": "https://twitter.com/bbuddha_xyz/status/2061606383435620527", "published_at": "2026-06-29 01:23:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-29 01:28:42.286062+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Google", "ecdsa.fail", "ECDSA", "Bitcoin"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guy-beats-one-of-the-best-published-quantum-circuits-for-breaking-ecdsa-with-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guy-beats-one-of-the-best-published-quantum-circuits-for-breaking-ecdsa-with-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guy-beats-one-of-the-best-published-quantum-circuits-for-breaking-ecdsa-with-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guy-beats-one-of-the-best-published-quantum-circuits-for-breaking-ecdsa-with-ai.jsonld"}}
