🚨 Episode w @DesheShai "Most-searched questions on Quantum + Crypto" Full Video - youtu.be/HFM0yIeVep8 In this speed-run episode, @DesheShai answers 15 of the most-searched questions on quantum computing and its implications for #Bitcoin #ethereum #kaspa and crypto more broadly, each question tackled in roughly 90 seconds. Questions Include: 1) What cryptography actually does inside a blockchain, 2) Why it matters for both wallets and consensus, 3) Which algorithms are already quantum-vulnerable (ECDSA, RSA, Muhash) versus which are not (SHA-256, Blake, AES), 4) Difference between physical and logical qubits, why raw qubit counts are a misleading metric, and what the 2024 breakthroughs in neutral-atom reconfigurable qubits and trapped-ion architectures actually mean for the timeline, 5) The conversation then turns to the harder, less discussed problems: the millions of already-exposed UTXOs sitting on-chain (P2PK addresses, reused addresses, the Satoshi stash) 6) Why Kaspa's Muhash accumulator has a specific quantum vulnerability that could enable a 3-day double-spend attack with just 1% of hash power, 7) Why Bitcoin's slow block rate and 2-week difficulty epoch actually act as unintentional quantum safeguards 8) Along with these @Shai maps out three complementary proposals that don't require picking sides: @StarkWareLtd 's quantum-safe spending (available today, but computationally expensive), #BIP360 (a soft fork framework for introducing post-quantum signatures, championed by Jameson Lopp), and the "Lifted Foxcoin" protocol developed in his own PhD thesis — the only solution that can provide recourse to people who made no preparations at all. bitcoin:native kaspa:native ethereum:native
