Well we should find out pretty soon. There is a paper claiming that a 1,700 qubit quantum computer can crack 2048-bit RSA. Atom Computing has an 1180-qubit quantum computer, and IBM has an 1121-qubit one. So unless somebody is fudging something (which is quite likely I admit) then we should find out in the next year or two I think.

I don't like spraying. I put that in NIP-65 and nobody pushed back, I guess everybody liked it. But it was a "I can't think of anything else" hail mary pass.

What I don't like is that you don't know that your scatter will overlap with my gather, especially with thousands of relays. So you are incentivised to spray to many relays, and I also am incentivised to gather from many relays, and this seems like more traffic than is necessary and still failure prone. Whereas in a DHT there is an algorithm to help choose which nodes hold the data, and a means of data survival even when nodes drop off the network.

Actually it turns out to be more complicated than just counting qubits. Some of these require millions of Toffoli gates. And logical qubits require often many physical qubits.

People are saying 10 years. I guess that is a better estimate.
