RE: Why Bitcoin Mining (SHA-256) is post Quantum-safe (if Quantum Computer existed)

in Deutsch D-A-CH7 months ago

Yes, good point, a quantum computer, if it existed, could indeed be viewed as a very powerful mining node, Bitcoin would then naturally adjust its difficulty but if the quantum computer was outperforming all other miners it could indeed become a security risk, if there were no other miners with quantum computers.

Yes that's what I was thinking as well. Other miners would also need a quantum computer in order to compete.
