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?
Core developers are not the ones developing quantum resistant hashes and encryption, they usually 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. Time 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 stuff today, you won't even be alive to see it?
I know, and please get the context instead of starting another debate merely for the sake of it. I was merely asking how fast can the Core Developers release an update/patch FOR Bitcoin, whatever that might be, IF Quantum Computers are projected to start breaking things?
The question is actually about the speed of reaction by the Core Developers, how fast are they, NOT about if X is an actual threat within one year.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
