Advancements in quantum computing pose a potential threat to Bitcoin’s security. Google’s recent progress with its Willow quantum-computing chip has highlighted the possibility that future quantum computers could break the encryption protecting Bitcoin, enabling hackers to access secure digital wallets and potentially causing significant devaluation.
Researchers estimate that a quantum computer capable of such decryption is likely more than a decade away. Nonetheless, the Bitcoin developer community faces the complex task of upgrading the system to incorporate quantum-resistant encryption methods. Achieving consensus within the decentralized community may be a slow process, and users would eventually need to transfer their holdings to quantum-resistant addresses to safeguard their assets.
A quantum-powered attack on Bitcoin could also negatively impact traditional financial markets, possibly leading to substantial losses and a deep recession. To mitigate such threats, President-elect Donald Trump has proposed creating a strategic reserve for the government’s Bitcoin holdings.
Nodes: Install missing nodes in the workflow through the manager.
Models: Make sure not to mix SD1.5 and SDLX models. Follow the details under the pdf below.
General suggesions: – Comfy Org / Flux.1 [dev] Checkpoint model (fp8) The manager will put it under checkpoints, which will not work. Make sure to put it under the models/unet folder for the Load Diffusion Model node to work.
– same for realvisxlV50_v50LightningBakedvae.safetensors it should go under models/vae
Odyssey and a Pixar co-founder, Ed Catmull (also an investor), just dropped Explorer, a revolutionary 3D world generator that turns any image into an editable 3D world.
sRGB: A standard “web”/computer-display RGB color space defined by IEC 61966-2-1. It’s used for most monitors, cameras, printers, and the vast majority of images on the Internet.
Rec. 709: An HD-video color space defined by ITU-R BT.709. It’s the go-to standard for HDTV broadcasts, Blu-ray discs, and professional video pipelines.
Why they exist
sRGB: Ensures consistent colors across different consumer devices (PCs, phones, webcams).
Rec. 709: Ensures consistent colors across video production and playback chains (cameras → editing → broadcast → TV).
What you’ll see
On your desktop or phone, images tagged sRGB will look “right” without extra tweaking.
On an HDTV or video-editing timeline, footage tagged Rec. 709 will display accurate contrast and hue on broadcast-grade monitors.
In color technology, color depth also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, OR the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel.
When referring to a pixel, the concept can be defined as bits per pixel (bpp).
When referring to a color component, the concept can be defined as bits per component, bits per channel, bits per color (all three abbreviated bpc), and also bits per pixel component, bits per color channel or bits per sample (bps). Modern standards tend to use bits per component, but historical lower-depth systems used bits per pixel more often.
Color depth is only one aspect of color representation, expressing the precision with which the amount of each primary can be expressed; the other aspect is how broad a range of colors can be expressed (the gamut). The definition of both color precision and gamut is accomplished with a color encoding specification which assigns a digital code value to a location in a color space.
