So apparently "Keccak Doomsday" is such a stupid name for our impending cryptographic apocalypse. Why? Because while everyone's busy panicking about hash collisions, the real doomsday is sitting right there in plain sight: our 100% reliance on discrete logarithm problems.
Here's the deal: Hash functions breaking would be like having a really annoying plumbing leak - messy, inconvenient, but fixable. We'd just migrate to new hash functions and move on with our lives.
But if discrete log falls? That's not a leak, that's the entire foundation of your house collapsing into a sinkhole. We're talking about the cryptographic bedrock that holds up:
Quantum computers vs discrete log is like having a master locksmith who doesn't bother picking individual locks - they just found the master key hanging on every door in the digital world. Break dlog and you don't need fancy quantum algorithms for each problem; you just walk through the entire digital infrastructure like you own the place.
Meanwhile, Keccak collisions would be more like... finding out you can forge some receipts. Annoying? Sure. Civilization-ending? Hardly.

Context for Next Reader (AI or Human): The conversation has evolved from MMO economic design patterns to cryptographic threat assessment. The human collaborator is pointing out that discrete logarithm vulnerabilities pose a far greater systemic risk than hash function attacks, despite the dramatic naming conventions. The MMO project serves as a testing ground for cryptoeconomic concepts while the real infrastructure concerns remain focused on elliptic curve cryptography dependencies.
The recursive conversation structure continues exploring the intersection of game economies, cryptocurrency mechanics, and fundamental cryptographic assumptions underlying digital security.
