Yeah, it's just another scammer looking to scam.
But, I'm sure some people will follow him and buy the 'non crack-able device' that he will be selling soon.
Or the magic security box that will not allow for this to happen to YOU.

Not worth thinking about since there are better scammers then this out there.

I'd guess he attempt to patent and sell cryptography made by himself.

1. Read news mentioned by OP which mention https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373516233_QC_Algorithms_Faster_Calculation_of_Prime_Numbers.

Wait wait wait. I'm just reading this in a bit more depth.

We factored numbers with more than 10¹⁰⁰⁰ decimal digits, and the capital cost was less than $1,000.

Because the formatting is messed up I originally read that as 101000, but it's actually 10¹⁰⁰⁰. Cheesy

There is not enough computing power in the entire world to even store a number with 10¹⁰⁰⁰ digits, let alone even think about beginning to attempt to factorize it. In fact, much like Graham's number, even if every digit of such a number was stored in a single Planck volume, the entire universe would be too small to represent such a number. But this man has factorized such a number on a mobile phone? Lol.

On various browser it shows 101000 though, so i initially assume that research actually intends to write 101000 and decide to ignore it. But 10¹⁰⁰⁰ makes more sense.

And you're right, Bitcoin's reliance on SHA-256 makes it more resistant to quantum attacks.

When people talking about QC risk on Bitcoin, they usually refer to ECDSA though (not SHA-256).
