Study: quantum computation are not the real threat to Bitcoin
Source:Concerns about growth in the quantum computing and their implications for the technology of the blockchain is exaggerated and incorrect. This was stated by the chief editor of the American Institute for economic research Jeffrey Tucker. His words are quoted .
theThat threatens the blockchain
the concerns of the community regarding the Bitcoin mining using quantum computing based on ignorance, I'm sure Tucker.
the Technology of the blockchain is constructed in such a way as to avoid potential security threats, which, according to many users, come from quantum computing devices. This is its advantage over centralized systems.
In his statement, Tucker refers to the study of Australian specialist on quantum physics Gavin Brennen. The latter argues that the benefits that allegedly have quantum computing in practice does not exist.
In reality, the advantage is eliminated due to the limitations of computing hardware and the block chain. The technology is able to compromise the distributed registry in its current form, always lagging behind in development by about ten years. While the blockchain is not threatened.
Tucker believes that the technology of the blockchain is really well protected, but my concern with quantum computing, the users divert the community's attention from the really important issues.
