I hear a lot of people talking about this, but the truth is that this is not really a problem. There are several coins out there that should be safe against quantum computers. I know bitcoin is not one of them
Right, and how did you come to this conclusion? You do realize that Bitcoin has some of the leading minds behind it, and if quantum computers were to become an issue to the current algorithm then they would likely be the first ones to know, and prevent any issues.
Most alternative coins these days are just copy and pasted versions of one another changing certain variables, and I for one question the technical knowledge of those behind the projects.
Yes I do realize that, and I actually keep saying that myself. For me, one of the greatest advantages over any other crypto out there, besides the obvious in terms of technical aspects, is that for me, they have the best team working on it.
As for my comment, I would like to start by saying that quoting someone and ending his sentence on a comma (without even displaying it) is really not a very good practice as it might induce anyone that reads it in error.
Bitcoin is not quantum attack safe as far as I know, and I will continue saying that I think that is not a problem, because I'm sure that if devs consider that will be an imminent problem for BTC they will focus on that and solve the problem.
There are other coins that are already quantum attack safe. Not an expert here, so I'm just believing in what their devs say. Of course they were not put to the test, so who know if they are safe or not. In theory, these should be some of the safe coins:
QRL The Quantum Resistant Ledger; NEO; IOTA; and even Cardano is close to that as far as I know.
Are these coins better than BTC? Of course not, and I've never said that. Am I worried that BTC is not quatum safe? Of course not, because like I've said before I believe in bitcoin devs. So if they did not address this yet, it's because they are probably no worried about it right now.
