Finally a viable platform to mine bitcoin and other crypto currencies
- zakk 9y agoYou cannot mine Bitcoin with a quantum computer, as there is no quantum algorithm to calculate SHA hashes.
- tromp 9y agoAll hashcash based PoW, including bitcoin's, is subject to quantum speedup by Grover's search algorithm. It allows you to find a hash output with 80 leading zero bits in roughly 2^40 steps rather than the 2^80 steps classically needed.
