In time, value will migrate to currencies built on quantum-resistant algorithms. But right now it might be well worth spending a few billion to build a ...

Mark Webber and his team at the University of Sussex in the UK recently calculated that breaking the cryptography in a 10-minute window would require a quantum computer with 1.9 billion qubits, while cracking it in an hour would require a machine with 317 million qubits. They they would need to get their bogus transactions processed before the original transaction (by paying a bigger fee). All of this would need to be well-timed and finished in a relatively small time window, which sounds hard but it is worth doing because it puts every Bitcoin transaction at risk. An attacker with a quantum computer can find the corresponding private key and recreate the transaction to send the money (for example) to themselves. For technical reasons to do with the way that public keys and things work, the accountants Deloitte reckon that about four million Bitcoins will be vulnerable to such a quantum attack. (Colombia estimates that it will cost about $70 million to salvage what it calls a "national treasure," and it wants it put on display in a museum to be built in Cartagena but there's an interesting dispute emerging around the wreck, which is in Colombian waters.
