What’s this about Quantum Computing?

posted 3 years ago by redman012 3 years ago by redman012 +23 / -0

Saw a comment on a banking thread that said that Quantum Computing will kill crypto, I assume because it would be able to edit the blockchain and thus killing the entire point of bitcoin, but how exactly would it do this? How does it work and why does it mean all current encryption would become useless?

Wouldn't that mean that you can still only check a single permutation at a given time?

It means you can only factor one large number at a time. IOW, find one person's private key at time.
