If LK-99 is real, the world might need to transition to quantum proof encryption faster than anyone thought.

What is LK-99?

New material that can be used for super conductor. No heat loss. Room temp, perfect.

Not verified yet*

"perfect" ...

Add these to the plus side:

* cheap ingredients

* trivial to make

but I'm not sure about the achievable currents and until this is peer reviewed, I'm waiting for some major catch with this anyway.

Gonna turn out to be hype just like nuclear fusion unlimited free energy bro

As far as crypto is concerned algorand is already there

Oke why sir?

superconductors are one of the hardest parts about building a quantum computer. if superconductors are stable at room temperature it means decoherence problems in quantum computers become much less of an issue.

Any ideas how this might effect btc/ pow? Switch to a a new hashing algo?

no need to switch to a new hashing algo. hash rates will just simply increase.

hashing algo (sha256) is not impacted by QC in the same way that encryption would be.

Thanks

Yea I get the bigger concern is with known public keys right

Correct
