#BitcoinEducation on the latest #Quantum FUD:
Digital signatures are widely seen as the more vulnerable of the two technologies, with an estimated
▫️ 8.56M physical qubits required to break ECDSA in 10.5 hours.
▫️ Google’s Willow chip operates at 105 physical qubits, implying that an 81,523x improvement would be required for a similar attack.
🔸 SHA-256 is much thornier for QCs, requiring 2.2M physical qubits (21,238x improvement over Willow) to break - in 18,000 years.
Mining is not likely to be impacted significantly by QCs given what we know today.
