Topic: post quantum bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 390 times)
I don't know whether there is some kind of progress here but a new quantum-resistant public key algorithm could be created and added as a soft fork.
I understand there is some movement in cryptography to create code that will be viable and secure in a world with quantum computers.
As skeptical as I am about the likelihood of practical quantum computing in the near future, it seems like a proactive approach would be appropriate for the entire blockchain sector.
I'm actually surprised I haven't seen any projects working in this direction. Then again, maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Has the bitcoin developing community made any moves towards post-quantum algorithms?
