But in this context, I merely asking. How fast can the Core Developers react IF an actual Quantum Computer is projected start breaking SHA-256 in one year?
Questions like this don't make sense. Core developers are not the ones developing quantum resistant hashes and encryption, they areusually would be doing the implementing of such thing for Bitcoin. If there is a need, an implementation can be delivered fast assuming that there are solutions. ThatTime to implement is not really a concern.

Anyhow, the chance of SHA-256 being broken within this century is close to 0%. Why worry about such nonsensestuff today, you won't even be alive to see it?
