The increase is significativesignificant. It's like the BIP38 in Bitcoin with 3 different indexes for a "BIP32 BIP38" hahaha, because it takes a lot longer to build the seed and it requires a lot more computing power. And... sinceSince this algorithm is post-quantum, you can't do much to break it and make it faster. Lemme

Let me explain: It fucks up

It makes the life of your quantum attacker harder, since he has no idea what level of security (1,2 or 3) to use to get the seed X. So, as you said, the attempts are basically going to be 3xthree times the original quantity of addresses/seeds, right? Assuming no collision, of course. But the level 2 is going to take even more time than the 1st one and the 3rd level is going to be much harder than the 2nd, because the algorithm is much more complicated. And let's not forget that for each level, you will have a different result, because a security level sets basically the number of rounds of hashing. Avelino

Avelino, I have a question for you: do you find it necessary the extra 9 digits for every new address, as a chekcsumchecksum? Because it all uses 81 fuckin' digits, while Bitcoin and other squishy-resistant criptoscryptos are using like 32 charcharacter addresses. Don't you think it's more complicated for ordinary people to use it?
