Google's computer discovery is not a risk for Bitcoin, says Dev.

A well-known cryptographer has feared that recent advances in quantum computing will endanger the security of Bitcoin (BTC).

Bitcoin vs. Google's "Quantum Supremacy"

In one Twitter discussion On September 24, Peter Todd, former developer of Bitcoin Core, led the review, which followed Google's claims that he had reached "quantum supremacy."

In an article read by the Financial Times, the tech giant said he created a computer that would solve an equation that would take 10,000 years in 3 minutes 20 seconds.

"To our knowledge, this experience marks the first calculation that can only be performed on a quantum processor," the paper said.

Quantum computing has already formed a conflict zone for crypto-currency developers. In 2017, for example, experts dispelled the myths that such machines could compromise the security of the Bitcoin blockchain.

"Nowhere to break the cryptography"

Similarly, Todd has now concluded that financial hurdles to Google's latest creation would prevent Bitcoin from potential problems.

"That does not mean anything, because Google's quantum breakthrough is about a primitive type of quantum computing that is far from cracking cryptography," he wrote about this new achievement.

He added:

"We still do not know if it is possible to scale quantum computers; It is quite possible that the addition of qbits has an exponential cost. "

Earlier this month, details revealed that the US National Security Agency (NSA) was attempting to search for and create quantum-resistant cryptography.
