1- 'Guessing' a 'more likely' private key (using the vulnerability in the Random Number Generator),

please keep us posted about any improvement by QC in RNG attacks, Ali. I just googled and found nothing worthy. but found something amazing in these old stuffs:

https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2013-08-11-android

------------------

now, there is a question. while machine learning could be used in attack to RNG and macine learning could also improve by QC, there should be a chance in doing something real with QC on RNG - just a gesture..
