Just found this interesting article as I was googling QTUM tokens...obviously not what I was looking for but worth the read..considering everyone on here has stake in a cryptocurrency now.

    For now just the title resonated with something else I've read: quantum computing can be a problem for cryptography in general, hence also for cryptocurrency. This is why it exists this page on wikipedia, Post-quantum cryptography.

      Just took a look at it. Sounds like Shor's algorithm is pretty powerful and as more quantum computers are developed we are going to see a lot of change.
