do you have access to one of the super computers as you say? NO
i gave a link for you to get educated" if your able to comprehend this"
obviously this project is spouting words  simply  because of the novelty and lack of common knowledge of the system and its capabilities.
portable Q-bit computers are already in circulation!
and there is nothing a inaccessible super computer can do faster then even a portable Q-bit computer.
if you dont know what your having a conversation about first inform yourself fully then spout your fud!
until then and now you guys are just sham scam artists playing fancy words and making prey on the ignorant
you cannot teach those who refuse to learn

I'm also in learning the blockchain basics via Python, since I'm most comfortable with it. Any suggestions?

Whether other crypto projects are overvalued or not is irrelevant to how I view QRL.  Let's say for example I own $10,000 worth of stocks.  I may very well take a $1,000 (10%) position in gold to offset my market risk.  It doesn't matter if the current PE ratio is 5 or 25, my gold hedge will react the same - with a negative correlation to the stock market assuming a black swan event.  This is how I view QRL - as both a hedge and as insurance.

So, therefore If I own $10,000 of crypto, and I want to diversify and protect against risk, what do I do?  I can't control government regulations or whales manipulating markets.  Those risks will always exist.  But the ultimate risk is quantum computing hacking (and thereby undermining the confidence of) the entire crypto space.  Once confidence is lost, it can take years or longer to be regained (assuming other cryptos adapt and become quantum resistant).  So if/when quantum hacking becomes an imminent risk, and hacks begin, and funds are lost, QRL will act with a negative correlation to all the other non-QP crypto.  So my crypto $10,000 might turn into $1,000 in a week, but my 10% QRL hedge position might go from $1,000 to $9,000 thereby netting me zero, but allowing me not to lose my shorts in the overall quantum hacking panic.  QRL is the hedge that any serious crypto believer ought to take seriously.  I believe investors are both smart and have a desire to protect their crypto investments to the greatest extent possible within their control.  And if others learn about QRL, and learn about the real quantum threats that currently exist and that are on the horizon, why would they not take a position in it?  What is the downside?  Being the first Quantum secure and most secure crypto is worthy of a top 30 coin (or better) from my foxhole.

How far have you managed to get?  Even the ScroogeCoin assignment for the cryptocurrency course (@coursera offered by Princeton) wasn't very straightforward.  Then again I had more difficulty with Java than anything else.  Haven't done anything serious with Java for 7 years now.

I'm even willing to put some BTC towards an alt-coin demo.  If it documents well, and explains differences (e.g. between this abc-coin and Litecoin from which it was forked) then all the better.

here is an idea don't think about developing your new altcoin just yet.
first try and spend some time educating yourself on subjects such as cryptography, and then cryptocurrencies and how they use it.

then if you are already good at programming as you claim, start picking an existing coin and contribute to its development. it can be a coin that you liked in step one of your educating yourself.

in this process you first become familiar with the whole thing, then you come up with ideas. you see what is lacking, what is needed and how you can improve it. then implement that idea.

I think you should visit also the Project Development Board as well someone might help your problem there. Anyway alt-coins is just almost a clone of bitcoin but customized to add some new features. That's all i know though!
