I'm not sure if folks have talked about this already, but setting aside the well-known issues like Shor's algorithm on ECDSA encryption, how might quantum computers shaking things up change how Bitcoin mining works? Especially if something like Grover's search gets way faster.  Could Bitcoin be vulnerable then to 51% attacks and stuff if people have quantum rigs?
