I believe the OP is trying to imply that one of the technology's spin-offs (seeing around corners) can be used to snag paper wallets and on-screen keys being viewed by users.

Correct?

the camera can "create" trillion of frames from one single shot...
truly interesting for photo amateur, but even you can't try to crack the bitcoin code (what you want break like blockchain? wallet? doublespending? create a fork?), the sw can operate in this way, doesn't mean it can make in a single second "trillion" of operations...
Even we can't caught the difference between this photo... likewise some electron has inverted the spin Tongue

Ok so you are saying this camera is superfast and can take trillion of frames per second and as mentioned in your post can slow down the event so that normal human can see what actually has happened like in case of light but i still doesn't understand from your post how can this help in cracking the bitcoin code?
All the previous attempts have been failed and i seriously doubt someone at the MIT can code something like that to crack the bitcoin code Smiley

Given that the camera can slow down a single event up to a trillion frames per second, then OP assumed that these special cameras have some super-fast processors, capable of doing complex mathematical computations required to crack bitcoin.

No.. just no.

Two problems I have with that image, they imply the Sun is a sphere with their Dyson's Sphere power source when it's actually a concave disk, they re-enforce that the idea that the Sun is a massive object when it's only 32 miles across and their Bitcoin symbol is an upside-down cross. However, the point they make about the virtual impossibility of cracking Bitcoin is all good. I just don't like the agenda they seem to be pushing/re-enforcing subliminally.

I was quite curious when I saw the header, I was thinking how on Earth can a camera crack the Bitcoin code then I read the op.  Think a new Subject line would be more relevant, although the camera is pretty cool.

checked out the video

that was published 2 years ago!!

wonder what they have now???

a week is a long time in technology

This is cheating  Cheesy

At first I thought: How is this possible when the speed of CMOS/CCD signal generation is much slower than the speed of light???

Then I watched the video, they were not capturing the whole process of light traveling through that bottle of water, but many different light traveling through the same bottle of water  and combined different snapshots together to make an animation

You are simply in denial. Nobody is talking about breaking any of the laws of nature, the universe, or physics. The idea of a camera that could be made to photograph light waves was an impossibility a decade ago. Now we have it. Why can't we trick nature into breaking the Bitcoin code in a similar way?

LOL. Think about it for a second. If cameras could not photograph light waves a decade ago, then what did they photograph?

Also, the camera being discussed here does not work the way people think it works. Do you know why wagon wheels look like they are turning backwards in old movies? That is how this camera works.

For some perspective, according to New York Times writer, John Markoff, “If a bullet were tracked in the same fashion moving through the same fluid, the resulting movie would last three years.”

And they would have to fire a billion bullets.

Camera have a features to solved the code and crack it, wow Shocked it's lol.
maybe it will be can use for revealed who is the flash Cheesy

Well bitcoin code is open source https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin Cheesy

Interesting. But how would that possibly 'crack the bitcoin code'?

I see? Have several cameras set up so to track the Byzantine generals' runners, thus having a baring as to who's gonna crack the code first, then snatch the results. Genius! The only problem I see is that when this ideal gets out, the battlefield would then be populated with paparazzi disabling the movement of the runners, thus, again, further increasing the difficulty.

LMAO, perfect response.

He probably implies that this camera has to have a very strong processor in order to push these frames. Then would this processor be able to crack Bitcoin code as he said?




if that is the point OP wants to make:


 lol!

No I dont escrow anymore.

This just can't be done. For example, 1+1=2. I think human knew this fact since very very very very long time ago, and it will always be correct. 1+1 will never be 3.

In |F2 1+1=0. Mabye we should first talk about what "crack the code" means.

Well done MIT, you just invented a tool that has the possibility to crack Bitcoin code.
