24 hours until the SHA-256 hash collision is exposed.

You realize that this would crash the global economy, not just crypto?

It's psychological. Modern market valuations are jacked up premiums for future growth, which is 100% reliant on the future of encryption.

>"A mass-murderer space rock happens about once every 30 million years on average. This leads to a probability of such an event occurring in the next second to about 10-15. That's 45 orders of magnitude more probable than the SHA-256 collision. Briefly stated, if you find SHA-256 collisions scary then your priorities are wrong.
>In a security setup, where an attacker gets to choose the messages which will be hashed, then the attacker may use substantially more than a billion messages; however, you will find that the attacker's success probability will still be vanishingly small. That's the whole point of using a hash function with a 256-bit output: so that risks of collision can be neglected.
>Of course, all of the above assumes that SHA-256 is a "perfect" hash function, which is far from being proven. Still, SHA-256 seems quite robust."
I saw this on a forum from 2010.
If the SHA-256 hash does have a collision, then I think everything would move to blockchain and smart contract for transparency and security purposes, right? So if BTC dumps then ETH/Chainlink would take over because they use SHA-3 and not SHA-256.
I know very little about crypto, but this is what I would assume at least.
Hope it happens desu
