(IJCH) Comment/Reply to @earthcustodians - Don’t Fear the Quantum Computing Reaper

IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (meaning: My warped, personal opinions and musings.)

I just read a thought provoking post by @earthcustodians:

https://steemit.com/science/@earthcustodians/quantun-computing-e-currencies-and-the-neutralization-of-power-in-the-perpetually-creating-universe

Then I posted this comment/reply to @earthcustodians:

Enjoyed your post -

Especially the borrowed "...correct with the mindset that created the problem in the first place" thing from Einstein, no?

And Andreas has always been a great source for humorous, down-to-Earth wisdom.

Salutations.

I am JaiChai.

And if I haven't had the pleasure to make your acquaintance, it's very nice to meet you.

RE: Your Post

Hashing Shor's Donkey (Anyone care for a Delicious Prime Factor?)

"Shor's algorithm, named after mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm (an algorithm that runs on a quantum computer) for integer factorization formulated in 1994. Informally it solves the following problem: given an integer N, find its prime factors."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm

Shor's algorithm in quantum computing is widely known as the greatest threat to cryptographic security; hence, cryptocurrencies.

But cryptography that is based on even the most primitive QCL - Quantum Computer Language (primarily predicting % end states for superpositions via Hadamard gate simulations) already has shown many paths towards safeguarding against quantum attacks.

Additionally, there are a few quantum resistant cryptocurrencies available today.

For example, IOTA uses the quantum resistant MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) algorithm for their Tangle (Iota's consensus mechanism - not a blockchain, no fees and no mining).

Unlike the masses, I am anxiously awaiting quantum computing.

Why?

The problems that quantum computing can solve could lead to the end of disease, hunger, drought victims, and most of all, make war an unprofitable venture.

Maybe I'll always be the perennial optimist?

Upvoted and following you now.

Namaste,

JaiChai

About the Author

JaiChai has been in the cryptocurrency and disruptive technology space for well over 6 years. He is an enigma, regarded by his cohorts as sarcastic, funny, intuitive - but most of all, elusive. JaiChai alternates long dormant periods with concentrated episodes of frenzied commentary - only to go silent again. He’s known for randomly submitting philosophical and contrarian posts on most cryptocoin forums.

When asked about his vanishing acts, he says, "I’m just somebody who enjoys being nobody because I look like everybody. Besides, time checking things off my 'bucket list’ - sans notoriety - is time well spent."
