@sonhouse saidWhat happens when Bitcoin miners have QCs? Have you thought of that yet?
@ogb
Every year they get closer to a real QC. The thing is those qubits are delicate things, go bananas at the slightest change in the environment, a rise in heat for instance, no more qubit but there are many ways to get qubits, now even photons may be used and they come up with ways to extend the lifetimes of these bits which now are measured in microseconds.
So whatever ...[text shortened]... e a QC can do that kind of thing totally asleep if they ever get the theory right in implementation.
@contenchess saidThat is an old discussion. And only if the system would be relatively simple chess would die out. Otherwise people can still enjoy
What if these new computers say white can always win with a certain set of moves...
I guess we wouldn't play chess anymore π
@ponderable saidTrue. π

@sonhouse saidThere will come a time when nobody can mine bitcoin, or at least so little bitcoin it would not be worth mining it anymore. At that point the incentive for mining will shift to earning transaction fees.
@Metal-Brain
I already talked about that and I think QC will kill at least the part of bitcoin where you can earn them though the math problem.
Bitcoin then will just be another debit card.
