Hmm, how many hash operations per second is realistic? If you do one
every microsecond on a million nodes you still need several years to do
2**69 operations...
This of course is much less than the several ten thousend years as it
was before and indeed significant for long term signatures, but IMHO
still good enough for "everyday life" in e-commerce. But it's already a
close call. If someone else can reduce it by a few more bits the
algorithm is gone for good!
So if this is confirmed we'd better look for new algorithms.
