Recently, the gossip was picked up around quantum computing and its potential effect on cryptocurrencies again. In the midst of a question: If Bitcoin is not resistant to the quantity, then why do the United States government consider it one of the strategic reserves? And beyond that-can Bitcoin or XRP become quantitative resistant in the future?

David SchwartzCto from ripple And a major character behind it XrpTake the topic. Take it? Bitcoin is not resistant to the quantity, but the urgency is often exaggerated.

Summary computing has compared cold melting - always a few years away, but never arrives. For more than a decade, experts said that practical quantum computing is eight years away. However, we are here, we are still waiting.

At some point, such as cryptocurrencies BitcoinThe developer says Ethereum and XRP LEDGER (XRPL) will need to treat quantum resistance. But not yet. The problem is that the current safe encryption methods in the quantity are not perfectly suitable for Blockchain applications. It is ineffective, and it is difficult to implement and simply does not deserve the bites at the present time.

Strategy? I am waiting

Schwartz urges readers to withstand until effective -resistant algorithms appear. If someone wants to create a single or safe account of the uTXO quantity today, this is possible-but it is boring. This means locking it to a general key to detecting the key itself - and not in a large scale.

So, does this mean that quantum computers are just noise? not quite. Schwartz admitted that quantum computing is real. But breaking the encryption? Weakening encryption security? It does not happen anytime soon. Common standards used-SHA-256, Sha-512, Ripemd-1660, SECP256K1, ED25519-Amna, at least at the present time.

Tomorrow problem?

The conversation is recently equipped due to the new quantum innovations, such as Google's Willow. According to what was reported, this slide was dissolved in minutes that may take the most powerful time of the computer. Of course, this made people think: if the quantitative computer can do this, what prevents it from breaking the encryption portfolios?

At the present time, the answer seems to be a lot. Technology is only not there yet. But the industry will need to stay at the top of the curve, watch, wait, and when the time comes, adaptation.
