However, this is compensated by stronger community leadership in the Ethereum Foundation.
Ethereum already has a roadmap for this.
Bitcoin is kind of like, eh, are quantum computers real?
Are they real?
Yeah, I can hear you, blah, blah, blah.
We'll give you some takes on the takes later, but they also mentioned some other chains.
So Zcash, they said it was likely a first target.
They mentioned stealth inflation attacks that are available.
Also-
Monero, if you're on Monero, all of the private transactions could be yielded public like this with a quantum computer.
Are you serious?
Yes, David.
Now, some chains are ready for this.
Algorand is ready.
They're already ready.
So there you go.
Maybe that's a boon for Algorand.
Solana, they said, it's similar to Ethereum, but they have less institutional inertia.
They'll be able to implement it.
They released proof that the 20X algorithm, Shor's algorithm improvement was like a real thing, not by publishing the algorithm itself and how they did it, because they said that would be too dangerous.
