A minor price drop is nothing more than the weak hands pissing themselves and they will regret it soon enough and buy back in at a loss.

This thread has become a joke.

Unless ring signatures are qualitatively the wrong solution for anonymity. The jury is still out on this one. Needs more analysis....

Do you mean "quantifying"? And there has been no proof of that being the case in any shape or form. Please if you have something other than postulations please enlighten us.

I mean qualitatively. To which of my concerns do you claim there is no proof in any form?

P.S. I defer to head of quantum computing research at IBM on the veracity of the 10-15 years prediction. He explained his reasons. Google is your friend.

I have bolded the "concern" which there is no proof of. You may study something forever but at some point it is assumed true until you can prove it false. And I would say the vetting has been more than adequate.

I've enumerated my concerns. You'd have to try to specifically show me convincingly that each of those concerns has been vetted. Your claim without specifics is not convincing to me.

I hadn't seen the IBM announcement yet.

However, it is unclear when such a computer would be commercially available. Chuang said it is expected that between seven and 10 atoms will be used in tandem in more advanced quantum computers within the next two years.

Even if this is true It's a far cry from a system capable of changing the world. I think Chaung is trying to justify his 3 billion budget. And the Hard part about this system when it is a reality is in fact going to be qualitatively deciphering the resulting data. So much for boolean.

Since you are claiming authority and not sufficient explanation of the science to convince me you actually know what you are talking about, what are your credentials relative to the head of research at IBM?
