Quantum Encryption is already being developed, stay tuned 👍

We don’t need quantum encryption unless you will secede the ground the Bitcoin is second best to quantum computing. In that case why even Bitcoin?

As a Bitcoiner, are afraid of a single centralized computer (node), a single centralized observer (miner) and all the qubits (UTXO) are owned by a singular entity? Oh yeah we can talk about the artificial environment and black box error corrections necessary to attempt to coerce the qubits to remain coherent.

Bitcoin has remained coherent for 16 years without a central authority or artificial conditions. What are you actually telling me you are afraid of?

OP was referring to encrypted chats, probably Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp etc.

What on earth does that have to do with Bitcoin, my confused new friend? 🤔🤭

I realize this, I’m simply questioning if the fear of quantum is rational and if quantum encryption is necessary.

Andrew Gomez 9mo ago

From the POV of the good folks developing Quantum Encryption right now, you mean? Yes, it is rational . And yes, it is necessary.

Jack K 9mo ago

Hmm I still don’t see why it is rational.

I am hung up why anyone believes that decoherence can be solved from the centralization of a singular computer and a single observer.

Their reliance on external classical timing systems or unitary operations force implicit bias into the system; an external deterministic schedule into a fundamentally probabilistic system.

Additionally they require an artificial environment and error correction codes creating abstraction layers. You are only interacting with a simulated ideal; “don’t worry about the noise, just trust our error correction” is what it sounds like to me.

What am I missing? Why is this a threat? It seems more about convincing people the threat is real rather than any demonstrated proof. Fear is the biggest motivator of action. 🤷‍♂️
