      🤷🏼‍♀️I see stuff like this and idgaf I think of all the other people working hard in this sector without VC or advantage and what an ars interview would do for them BH had to change keynote this year, many events are the same. All of it is deliberate even sales pitches

      So, I gotta tell you... there are so many more layers to this than the content of that interview. [T]hey [H]ave [E]very [R]eason [A] [N]ew [O]rganization [S]hould to be noticed. If you know what I mean.

      Hopefully part 2 covers the magic crystals they're selling. Not joking. Seriously though, part 1 repeated a lot of the marketing copy and gives it credence. Someone reading this might actually believe it. Nobody credible outside their company called this anything but Snake Oil.

      Since this was written for an Ars Technica audience, I assumed that our readers could tell by my repeatedly pointing out of actual facts that this guy might be lying, but I can't say he's lying without getting legal involved.

      I had kinda assumed it was all delusion until this "The only difference there is we did a demonstration right after the presentation decrypting RSA encryption", I can't think of any explanation for that other than dishonesty?

          They're demonstrating on 512-bit keys, which anyone can do with a laptop.

          Yeah obviously, but using GNFS or whatever would be dishonest, not delusional.
