Physical, logical, and then time to, you know, the algorithm?

Interesting.

But Q-Day could also happen behind the scenes without us knowing how far along we really are.

Last question on Qubits.

So are quantum computing data centers being built out right now?

We have this massive data center build out for AI.

Is something similar starting to happen with quantum computers?

Wait, just to be clear, Zcash is not post-quantum secure right now?

Correct.

Even though it's using ZK, like Snarks and all this?

I mean, like if we started seeing coins from people who- Yes and no, because we're already seeing it today.

So QDA happens in a Justin Drake scenario, and maybe a Zcash is the first to have some form of an attack.

And then you might see some addresses on-chain that aren't very noticeable because the attacker won't want to draw their attention to it, some addresses on Bitcoin.

But then the attacker would kind of step things up and go for larger and larger treasure sources on Bitcoin.

Now, my understanding, we talked about this a little bit last year when he came on, we talked about quantum.

And then I've read some Nick Carter pieces currently, is that there is a portion of Bitcoin supply...

that is kind of in the lost coin type of scenario, which is like either the individual has passed away, lost their private keys, they're Satoshi themselves.

And I think Nick estimated this to be potentially up to the minimum threshold for that is like 1.7 million Bitcoin.

I know there are different estimates of this, which would be 8.6% of the mine supply.

So this is less than the 35% that you were talking about.
