Notice that the talk said that the computers are so expensive that people will be able to rent time on them, but never be able to afford one. Let Bitcoin encryption change to match quantum computing level security. Then rent time on the QCs for use with your Bitcoin. Security enhanced by Quantum Computers.

I sure hope not because I wanted to start to get into encryption theory and take a job doing it. 

when the inventor of D-wave cannot show any real world results, eg what D-wave has already done over the last 9 years of expansion
when they say D-wave is 500,000x more faster than it was 9 years ago, but uses the analogy of a 1mph donkey vs 2000mph jet (yes 2k not 500k).
where the only usecase they can think of is fiction of parellel universes that no one can see themselves and have to blindly trust 'reports' of D-wave..

all in all it sounds like it has never done anything and wont do anything
they cant even grasp reality to talk about REAL results or potentials.
just the wishy washy blackhole theory of time travel, worm holes and alternative universes.


its almost like all them Nasa images of far away planets where they show computer 3D art of oceans and land on other planets.. but the real science 'results' is just a spectral range of infrared that is close to the same spectral range that earth sits at. and nothing like the 3D art they publish as their 'findings'

all in all im not worried. i dont think D-wave will do much real world work. and just wasted on 'science theory' that cannot be proved and thus only stands as fact because no one else has the same tech to debunk it

if only the video talked about gene mapping. or calculating the best drug combinations to fight and cure cancer/hiv.. then i would have thought D-wve was a real thing... not the alternative universe theory the guy wants to waste time on that cant be proved or help or be useful

i think "theoretical physicists" should never get anythink more then mimimum wage.

The video suggested that because of the different style of operation, current encryption will be among things that will not be a hindrance to the Quantum Computer. The QC will run right over regular encryption. A whole new form of QC encryption will have to be developed that will not be touchable by regular computers.

Quantum Computing could help us make something even better than Bitcoin.  At least for all of us who stay informed.  I am confident we would be able to ride that wave to success, whatever quantum computing brings us.

This is my first time is hear about the quantum computing but after reading all of the post in this thread I can define that is will become a bad thing for us.  ?

Agh.  That is the reason why I did not continue my course on Information Technology!  I was amazed by what computers and highly intellectual people can do.  Just typing some codes and everythibg can be hacked, traced, and destructed by simple codes.  I wish that video was not true or I just wish that it will be used for a good purpose.

I also wish that video was not true. But as you said everything is easy to be hack, No way, it is not too much easy as you said, you know if everyone can do it so why You and Me not hacker. Only some hackers can do it. But i am agree with it,that it is fearfully thing. But we can't do it  because we have been achieved that place where we never come back and also we can't any work without computers.

I would be interested in hearing what one of the core developers think about quantum computing and how they think it will affect bitcoin. Are the core developers taking this seriously or are they taking this all lightly? If they are taking it seriously, what are their plans for bitcoin's algorithm and how soon do they think they can change it?
