Would you be able to elaborate on these issues that you have?
My main issue was not expanding on D-wave generation quantum computers enough for those that aren't familiar with them. A 2000 qubit quantum computer is a scary thought when first hearing that we are supposedly already capable of manufacturing them on mass. However I wanted to be clear that although it may well be true they don't work in the same way as the quantum computer which would become a threat to Bitcoins algorithm and are not very efficient at factoring.
