with quantum computing in the distant future there is no reason to say it could not happen

You have made an assertion "with quantum computing in the distant future there is no reason to say it could not happen"

Now explain yourself, prove it, give a reference, something. Otherwise it is just a opinion.

I made the assertion:

My post addresses the question posted by stating that since it will never be possible to even count from 1 to (about) 2²⁵⁶ by any physical means, let alone count and calculate Key_public = Key_public + G [and hash that result three times] it is obviously currently, and will always be, impossible to find a specific key pair by a brute force algorithm.

Which I can prove and has been proven many times in the past in dozens of other threads just like this one.

if you claim something is impossible when it is not against the laws of physics (and even if it is against those, it may be possible to go to other universe!) you are the one making the claim. i am saying anything that is within the law of physics can happen.
