what are you saying is BS?

Everything that he said is 100% bullshit. I did the research and he is pulling stuff out of his ass.

I will start worrying (and educating myself) about quantum computers when they start factoring very large numbers. Until then...same category as interdimensional aliens using advanced technology to hijack the blockchain.

It has already been done. So start worrying.
I believe that the NSA has already developed/purchased to help them handle all their data they get from their spying programs. I believe it was also very expensive (in the billions of dollars).

Actually a Canadian Company developed them at $10 million per pop. They were heavily funded by Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com and the CIA. Lockheed Martin bought the first one and a university used one to solve complex equations that were not solvable until this thing came out.

The majority of the scientific community laughs on this project for almost 10 years now.
It's not quantum. Both in theory and practice.
Actually in practice things are even worse with generic computers outperforming d-wave in many cases.

Get over it. There is no quantum computing. There is research but atm with zero results.

haha 'tis true! Aliens would probably be able to pwn the blockchain using a smartphone equivalent.

Quantum computers will affect bitcoin the same way teleportation or time travel will do.

Quantum computers are real.

Sure they are. I saw one recently in "zero theorem".
Here is the link to the scientific paper http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2333804/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I think a lot of things will have to change when quantum computers come into existence. Im sure we will cross that bridge when we get to it. No point speculating whats going to happen when the computers don't even exist yet.

Yes, it's true. But we can to think about future of mine with so high power. Number of miners will go so low with that machines, i think.

Quantum computers are real.

So is time travel and teleportation. Quantum computers are just closer to becoming reality. And quantum computers arent really measured as 1000x faster.. instead of doing calculations really quickly one at a time, the quantum computer does all the calculations at the same time. Or something to that effect. It will be exponentially faster than anything we have today. Theres some good videos on Youtube that explain it.
Time travel is not real. You can only "go forward in time" by traveling at speeds that approach the speed of light as it makes it seem like time is going by faster then it really is. You cannot travel backwards in time.

Quantum computers are not a threat as ASICs are already in use on the network which will be more efficient then Quantum computers.

lollll Wow... I'm surprised people even comment to these threads.... some of the comments are just W O W..... fukkk u know what? wtf am I commenting here for!  Roll Eyes

Bleeghhhhhh I have just realized this Discussion forum is 85% full of B-shit, big time...I cant beleive it has taken me this long to notice the percentage of shit here.. , cubye  Grin

If you need more high quality forum for discussing about quantum computing maybe this is right place for you:

Enumeration is not needed in a quantum computer, as @doubleredrolex says, in an X qbit register, all 2^X bit states can occur at once in "superposition".

D-Wave has an array of raw qbits, but reading the state gives a very fuzzy statistical answer and the fuzziness scales with it, so the more complex the architecture, the more useless it becomes. The best you can do with such a system is reduce the problem space, but not nail down an answer, it is useless for hard spiky (logical) problem spaces.

However a "logical qbit" has a fully deterministic read/write.

A logical qbit is formed from a collection of raw qbits in an error correcting surface code topology:

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1208/1208.0928.pdf

Large scale general purpose architectures and also application specific systems (quantum ASIC) could be made using logical qbits.

Interestingly (and somewhat off topic) similar error correcting code topologies have been found in string theory in the very fabric of our own reality:

Edit: One more question will this also mean the 21 million bitcoins will be made faster?
A quantum computer is not necessary for this to happen. The fact that the difficulty is increasing at a rapid rate means that, on average blocks are found less then every 10 minutes. The answer to your question is "yes" the 21 million BTC will be made faster, but this will not be because of quantum computers, it will be because of ASICs.

The strength of ASICS has nothing to do with it. It's the cryptography that is threatened, not the mining network.

As for the OP's original question about faster mining, no. The difficulty rate rises as the hash rate rises to keep block creation steady.
