Hmm.... is the blockchain quantum-safe?
If not, then it eventually means a lot of free money for someone until the news gets out.
A post-Bitcoin Quantumcoin? I see that quantumcoin.com is already taken (apparently by a writer).

Kudos to E(ugene).C. Myers... apparently he has written a lot about the potential for Quantum Physics on Crypto.
Sadly QuantumCoin.com takes you to http://ecmyers.net/novels/ which is empty, which means he's still writing a book and set the record straight that he has the edge on this.

I saw a video on this and apparently quantum computing can tackle some aspects of crypto but not everything, it's not a magic bullet. There are some specific algorithms it can help break though.

Perhaps. Grover's Algorithm can be applied to almost any problem that looks like "solve f(x) = c", even if f calculates a hash. It's not an exponential speedup though, and I'm not sure how it deals with accepting a lot of different c's (as mining only requires k leading zeroes in the hash, not a single specific hash).

There are algorithms that are resistant to quantum computing; Bitcoin, banks, etc. will need to evolve in step.

Sí, es posible. Alguien con un ordenador cuantico tiene mas posibilidades de encontrar el hash correcto y así ganar la bonificacion del nuevo bloque en la blockchain.

This is an english site, next time please write in english.

Yes, it's possible. Someone with a quantum computer has more probabilities to find the correct hash and win the bonification of the new block in the chain.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If you can figure the math... go ahead, they're billions of dollars to be made by using Quantum to compute Hashes... but nobody yet, has figured out how to do it.

What this year will be remembered for: Whole world Cooking vessel of French small microphone (6, 7)
---------------------------
I have an electrician coming to do some work between approximately 09:00 and 09:30. This means that I will not be online for the early times of this CCC so I apologise in advance for not being able to give timely responses to your solutions.
<edit> Electrician now not coming until 10:00. I expect this CCC to be solved before then!

I got a idea and i think it might work. i have a idea and that is to create a application such as teamviewer but with some difference is that a user should be able to use his pc to game on a mobile, like a cloudgaming but being able to put the hardware accelration on a pc and get the feed of it on a mobile. If anyone is interested to work please mail me at [DELETED]@gmail.com.

Quote:Anika Chebrolu, a 14-year-old from Frisco, Texas, has just won the 2020 3M Young Scientist Challenge -- and a $25,000 prize -- for a discovery that could provide a potential therapy to Covid-19. [^] Video: [^] In spite of it all, goodness gurgles, happiness hiccups, future stars are born on earth, as well as in the heavens.Quote: Frisco grew faster than any other large U.S. city over the last decade, according to a new study from the Census Bureau. Frisco had a growth rate of 71.1% over the last ten years, with the city's population reaching 200,490 in 2019, up from 116,989 in 2010, according to the study.
Diversity. Frisco has a foreign-born population of 19.8%. Unlike many cities in Texas with a large Hispanic or Latino minority, Asians make up the largest minority in Frisco which has one of Texas' highest Asian populations. The city has large communities of people from India, South Korea, Japan, and China.

Good find, thanks man! 
(I mean the news, obviously, Anika did the real find! )

I hate to be a kill-joy, but... her video submission 2020 Video Challenge entry[^]
makes no mention of Covid-19 - she talks about influenza. She found (by computer analysis, or 'in-silico' methodolgy, as 3M puts it) a potential binding agent to the Hemagglutinen protein Wikipedia[^]
I don't know how the 3M sponsors came to link it to Covid, but I can guess. If I am being unfair, I will happily retract.

it's a damn good idea to question whatever you read these daze  So often, I wake up, and can't remember the world news I created the day before.
I think the first link to CNN is relevant: Quote: Anika's winning invention uses in-silico methodology to discover a lead molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
"The last two days, I saw that there is a lot of media hype about my project since it involves the SARS-CoV-2 virus and it reflects our collective hopes to end this pandemic as I, like everyone else, wish that we go back to our normal lives soon," Anika told CNN.
Sounds to me like Anika is, herself, modest about her work.
