Tsotchke, a crypto project claiming to use "spin-based quantum computing" to power "quantum-enhanced AI," has drawn millions in investment. But experts in quantum computing and cryptography are raising serious doubts. The anonymous developers refuse to provide proof, and their aggressive responses to critics only deepen suspicion.
Bold Claims and Skeptical Experts
The Tsotchke team asserts they have achieved quantum breakthroughs without specialized hardware, something multi-billion-dollar companies like Intel and Hitachi are still struggling with. Experts remain unconvinced.
“The benchmarks they present are extremely ambitious and difficult to believe,” said Paulo Viana, a quantum computing scientist. Quantum computing advancements happen in small steps, but Tsotchke claims massive leaps with no supporting evidence. Adding to the skepticism, the project’s lead developer, hiding behind a pseudonym, dismisses critics as "unqualified" and even threatens those who question the project’s legitimacy.
Quantum or Just a Fancy Random Number Generator?
Despite its grand promises, the only available code from Tsotchke appears to be nothing more than an advanced random number generator (RNG). Kaushal Kumar Singh, Lead Blockchain Developer at the Quantum Resistant Ledger, reviewed Tsotchke’s code and found nothing related to blockchain or quantum computing.
“I noticed a small library that serves as a random number generator based on quantum mechanics principles emulated on a digital computer,” he explained.
Quantum EVM’s CEO, Ian Smith, came to the same conclusion: “If they removed ‘quantum’ from their branding and just said it was an advanced RNG, it would be moderately accurate.”
Who is Behind Tsotchke?
Tsotchke’s website claims their lead researcher has 15 years of experience in quantum computing, yet there are no publications, patents, or citations to support this. “With this much experience, they should be a well-known figure in academia,” Viana pointed out. A GitHub account linked to the project is associated with an email from Concordia University, but no one has verified any connection. The developers refuse to reveal their identities, citing "privacy."
Tsotchke’s claims of quantum-enhanced AI remain unverified, and its only visible technology appears to be a glorified RNG. With no credible references, no proven advancements, and an aggressive stance toward critics, experts believe that the project is more like a marketing stunt than a technological revolution.
FAQs
1. What does Tsotchke claim to do?
Tsotchke claims to use "spin-based quantum computing" to enhance AI, but experts say there’s no evidence supporting this.
2. Is there any proof of Tsotchke’s quantum advancements?
No. Experts who analyzed the available code found nothing resembling quantum computing—only an advanced random number generator.
3. Who is behind Tsotchke?
The developers remain anonymous, and there are no academic or scientific references to back up their experience claims.
4. Should I invest in Tsotchke?
Given the lack of proof and the skepticism from experts, investing in Tsotchke carries significant risks.
