Did you know that MistCoin was the prototype of the ERC-20 standard and therefore, the origin of the Binance token? Just some blockchain history. ethereum:0x7fd4d7737597e7b4ee22acbf8d94362343ae0a79

MistCoin $WMC was deployed by @feindura and @avsa Nov 3, 2015 with their work on the Ethereum Wallet and the first GUI for standard token creation. In 2022, Alex gave a group of old NFT enthusiasts 18.5% and 8.5% was locked in liquidity. Their liquidity is now unlocked 👀 🧵

Relic coins on Ethereum from 2015-2016 solve the hyperinflation of degenarate and worthless memecoins that PumpFun has cursed into this space. You can buy them at microcaps.. for now.

Introducing: Ethereum History 2018 Claims / Faucets! In 2018, hundreds of tokens launched as open faucets. Over 300 faucets are still out there, most still claimable, each one a little piece of early Ethereum history. 🧵 📖

Just bring back the good old days of Ethereum, when people were learning the tech while having fun along the way 🦄🍖 @binji_x
If people read this @VitalikButerin post instead of only seeing coinslop on TikTok, then they may actually come to like crypto people. vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… But we cannot expect people to read, we need to find ways to translate this into other forms of content. You don’t need to put crypto at the center for it, put humanity at the center, and position crypto as the protective edges around it.

Hey @cz_binance if we gotta remember our roots, you should learn about MistCoin, the prototype which helped shape the ERC20 token standard. The daddy of $BNB clearly deserves a listing 😉 ethereum:0x7fd4d7737597e7b4ee22acbf8d94362343ae0a79

bruh, don't do that. 😂 I can't mention every coin. Without ETH, there is probably no BNB. BNB launched as an ERC20 token. 🤷‍♂️ Gotta remember our roots. 🙏

Honest answer: Buying the prototype of the most famous token standard (ERC20) ethereum:0x7fd4d7737597e7b4ee22acbf8d94362343ae0a79
Honest question: how does the average person capitalize on this?

In 2015, an Ethereum Foundation UX design leader named Alex Van de Sade and developer named Fabian Vogelsteller deployed MistCoin as part of an Ethereum Wallet release to test the standard token. In 2016, Alex deployed Unicorn Meat to test token swaps and more. Read all in a 🧵

While everyone in CT is discussing if AI will kill cryptography and our magic internet money, we are looking back at this tutorial from December 2015, where @ethereum was explaining how to create your own cryptocurrencies using MistCoin code.

If you have to pick one token before switching your wallet to “bunker mode”, the choice is clear. Just pick the one that has been 100% running since Ethereum launch. ethereum:0x7fd4d7737597e7b4ee22acbf8d94362343ae0a79
Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash. Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster). Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time? Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.) Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026). Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS. Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security. The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.
