This is just a random news I get but people are really talking about it.
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.
What do you think about this disturbing news, I have been read more than 5 news about this and I saw another one today. What are bitcoin developers doing about it?
If you need the source that I get today's news from, I can post it which has the the title that I have as the title on this thread.
yep i have seen those discussions too & honestly it’s something worth paying attention to... quantum computing definitely poses a challenge to ecdsa but it’s not like bitcoin devs are ignoring it.. the community has been talking about quantum resistance for years and there are already proposals for post quantum signature schemes.. the hard part isn’t just switching the algorithm.. it’s doing it in a way that keeps security, compatibility & consensus across millions of users
2030 sounds close when you say 5 years but the reality is quantum computers that can actually break ecdsa at bitcoin scale are still not here yet.. the news articles often make it sound more urgent than it really is but that doesn’t mean the risk is fake.. i think the most likely path is bitcoin will move to a stronger signature scheme before quantum computers are realistically dangerous
so yep it’s a concern but no it’s not the end of bitcoin... the devs are aware, the research is ongoing & the transition will happen when the time is right
