Quantum computer researchers: Bitcoin encryption breakable in a few years
- Our_Benefactors 7mo agoWho wants to offer me this bet? This will be forever 5 years away, like commercial fusion
- nitwit005 7mo agoYou'll have to wait "forever" to win that bet.
- zippyman55 7mo agoNo, it will come five years after commercial fusion.
- freddydumont 7mo agoCan anyone comment on the seemingly impossible transition from quantum computers on the order of ~150 qubits available today to systems with the 500,000 physical qubits required to break classical encryption? Seems like quite the handwave, especially with a target as close as 2030.
- general1465 7mo agoIf Bitcoin encryption is breakable so soon, then what about RSA? That would be a bigger deal than a bitcoin.
- hulitu 7mo agoHeise was, some time ago, a reliable paper. Now times seems to have changed.
