Enough of the quantum slop already. We need actual quantum computing engineers or physicists to chime in to the quantum debates in Bitcoin.
While tens of thousands of real physicists work on quantum ...
That’s an “appeal to authority” logical fallacy. Quantum needs evidence for it’s extraordinary claims:
We don’t freak out about teleportation but that tech would be even more disruptive.
The quantum threat isn’t proven. The recent ‘15-bit encryption cracked’ experiment turned out to be false. Shor’s algorithm needs millions of stable qubits; current machines have thousands of noisy ones. Bitcoin’s secp256k1 is safe for the foreseeable future.
