Justin Drake (Ethereum Foundation) wants big wallets in bunker mode
BTC and ETH sign with ECDSA. Private key to public key is easy. Public key back to private key is supposed to be impossible. He thinks AI math might find a shortcut before quantum computers do. OpenAI just beat old math problems. It did not break wallets. It showed the machine is getting faster at the kind of math this sits on
His fix is boring. Move size to an address that has never sent, then don't touch it. Signing is what exposes the key. Vitalik said the risk is real and also said don't rush the migration
Not a hack. A warning that the "impossible" part might not stay impossible
