1) Yes that is true, normal supercomputers can become more efficient and dangerous at some point. But I`m just telling that everyone is scaremongering about the quantum computers which are a so remote idea that a meteor hitting earth might be a bigger concern.

2) And then cant scale it up, because the entropy of the universe is too big for building it further. Qubits can only form in vacuum and at 0 degrees kelvin. The best they came up with was near 0 degree and they can only put together a few qubits because any tiny energy interference just collapses the entire buildup like a house of cards. You can't isolate the setup 100% from outside interference, it's impossible.

3) Well yes, but after many many threads discussing it, and articles coming up on reddit about it all the time, at some point it looks like FUD. I believe there are bigger priorities than this.

1) A flaw could be discovered in the encryption or a way to calculate much faster (as an example).
2) People said that a lot of things were impossible, and look where we are now. I'd rather not rely on speculation (if you know what I mean).
3) Sure, some of them are FUD attempts but surely not from theymos.

aww.. AWS free trials terminated. Undecided

#R3kt

Nothing surprising there; it was just a matter of time. They are now down to just 867 nodes according to this website. I've been banning every single Classic peer from my own node as I don't want to waste bandwidth on AWS.
