I have just read about it not long ago but I have also read somewhere before that by 2030, it is possible that ECDSA becomes vulnerable to quantum computing. This is 2025 which means 2030 is just 5 years away from now.
I suppose in 5 years we would find out how true these doom speculations are and then we would move past it and wait on the next.
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?
In the case of this eventuality, what reaction can there be if it isn’t in the same speed as quantum computing, where the same device would be used to get the same difficulty and solution.
