But I think the coding is messy and new signature schemes should be easy to audit. Bad implementation bugs are just as dangerous as bad cryptography even potentially more so!! So I wrote a validation function based on the ORIGINAL Lamport from 1970s or whatever... which suggest to validate the entire message
however we need to verify that signature so nobody can forge it after all we do give away the hashes for all 64 characters... they can try to forge it by finding some messages that move UP the ladder, miner throws out your transaction and broadcasts one of his own! So this is where you replace the "checksum" mentioned earlier so no new message can be generated

## Explain it like I'm five Update
Hey everyone — quick update!
### Pool update
The pool now adjusts its position every 1.5 days instead of every 3 days.
Before, we waited 3 days because we wanted to be very careful and avoid paying too many trading fees from moving the position too often.
But after testing it a lot, we think moving it a little more often should help the pool earn more fees.
Why?
Because if the pool is out of the best range for a couple of days, it can miss out on profits. Stablecoin pairs usually do not move much, so adjusting every 1.5 days still seems safe and may help squeeze out a bit more profit.

## Post-quantum crypto side experiment
I’ve also been experimenting with post-quantum cryptography.
In simple terms:
One day, computers may become much faster. If that happens, some current crypto systems, like elliptic curve signatures, could become weaker.
So I’m looking at a different kind of signature system based on hashes.
A hash is like a one-way machine:
- You can put something in and get a result.
- But if you only have the result, you cannot easily figure out what went in.
Think of it like a ladder:
- Going up the ladder is easy.
- Going down the ladder is almost impossible.

## The ladder idea
Imagine we make a bunch of hash ladders.
Each ladder has 16 steps, matching the 16 possible hex characters:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
A normal hash is 64 characters long, so we make 64 ladders.
Each character in the message decides which step of the ladder gets revealed.
But there is a problem:
If someone sees your revealed step, they might be able to move up the ladder and fake a different message.
So we add a second set of ladders.

## The mirror ladder
The second ladder works in the opposite direction.
So if an attacker tries to move up on one ladder, they would also need to move down on the mirror ladder.
And moving down is the hard part.
That makes forgery extremely difficult.
So the system uses:
