Topic: SHA 2 made by NSA (Read 740 times)
I am the NSA. I am in your interwebs, stealing your Bitcoins.
[...]and not the much saver SHA3 which was not designed by the NSA?
Check the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3
It hasn't been standardized yet, and it wasn't created to improve upon SHA-2.
Also, what makes you think the NSA is more likely to hide a malicious and clever backdoor in the algorithm than any other group or organization? More importantly: I can understand the importance of decrypting communications, but what advantage could a group like the NSA gain from creating hash functions vulnerable to collision?
What the SHA3 or the whitlisting ?
No I am not paranoid I just need to be whitelisted LOL
but there could be a possibbility the NSA is behind the whole Bitcoin story. Why is the bitcoin using the SHA2 and not the much saver SHA3 which was not designed by the NSA?

If you're paranoid, just use Scrypt coins.
Litecoin for the win!

Hey goat, have you heard about the sheep marketplace. The website doesn't work yet but if you like goats maybe you like sheep.
Are you paranoid??? ;-)
What a coincident ...
SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) designed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and published in 2001 by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.
