According to Odaily, Shaw recently expressed on the X platform that there is a significant gap between the actual progress of quantum computing and the media portrayal and public perception. Despite advancements in the field, quantum computers are unlikely to achieve their purported capabilities within the next 40 to 50 years. Even with the optimal application of Grover's algorithm, hash functions like SHA-256 can only reduce the search space from 2 to the power of 256 to 2 to the power of 128, which remains physically unbreakable.
Shaw emphasized that the most advanced quantum computers currently cannot factorize the number 21 into 3 and 7 without prior knowledge of the result. To compromise Bitcoin, a quantum computer would need to perform repeated calculations on the live network within minutes, a leap far beyond the progress from 1950s computers to modern server clusters. Modern cryptography was designed with future computational growth in mind, and current fears or hype surrounding quantum computing lack factual basis.#QuantumComputing #Limitations #MediaHype #GroversAlgorithm #SHA256 #Cryptography #QuantumSecurity #FutureTechnology #Bitcoin #PublicPerception #BTC
🚀 Quantum Computing's Impact on Bitcoin: Expert Insights

According to BlockBeats, ElizaOS founder Shaw has expressed views on the perceived threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin, suggesting that its realization is much further away than current media reports indicate. Shaw explained that while Grover's algorithm can theoretically reduce the search space for hash functions like SHA-256 from 2²⁵⁶ to 2¹²⁸, the latter remains unbreakable. Although Shor's algorithm could theoretically crack RSA/ECDSA encryption, current quantum computers typically rely on preprocessing or prior knowledge for optimization, rather than a universal implementation of Shor's algorithm.
To compromise Bitcoin, a real-time network, would require rapid and repeated execution, which, if possible, would expose all encrypted data, making Bitcoin a minor issue in comparison. Modern cryptography has always anticipated future computational growth, including the acceleration expected decades ago. Shaw advises skepticism towards fear or hype surrounding quantum computing, noting that many commentators lack understanding.#QuantumComputing #Bitcoin #Cryptography #ShorsAlgorithm #ElizaOS #BlockBeats #QuantumThreat #SHA256 #GroversAlgorithm #FutureComputationalGrowth #BTC
🚀 Quantum Computing's Impact on Bitcoin Mining Assessed by BTQ Technologies

BTQ Technologies has released a research paper titled 'Kardashev Scale Quantum Computing for Bitcoin Mining,' which provides a quantitative evaluation of the physical costs associated with using quantum computing for Bitcoin mining. According to ChainCatcher, the study highlights a common market confusion between two types of quantum threats: attacks on Bitcoin's elliptic curve digital signatures, which are considered real and urgent, and quantum mining accelerated by Grover's algorithm, which is theoretically possible but extremely costly in practice.
The paper argues that to significantly impact consensus, a quantum computing cluster with energy consumption far exceeding current human civilization levels would be required. The research introduces an open-source resource estimation model that includes key components such as reversible double SHA-256 computation, fault-tolerant quantum error correction, and large-scale qubit scheduling. The conclusion emphasizes that the more immediate risk to Bitcoin arises from vulnerabilities in cryptographic signatures rather than quantum mining capabilities.#QuantumComputing #BitcoinMining #BTQTechnologies #KardashevScale #GroversAlgorithm #CryptographicVulnerabilities #QuantumThreats #EllipticCurveDigitalSignatures #QuantumErrorCorrection #QubitScheduling #BlockchainSecurity #BTC
