> 1) I link to the SHAttered paper, as well as Shambles. Git projects were not affected because it is an inefficient attack vector. I say it's impractical to exploit, which I think everyone agrees with.

It seems unlikely it will stay that way forever. Typically attacks get more efficient over time as researchers find improvements, not to mention computers getting better.

In 2015 it was estimated to cost $100,000, now the estimate is down to $10,000. Where will it be in 2035?

I specifically argue that it doesn't matter if it's $1 and base my argument and solution around that. So it's irrelevant where it is in 2035.
