Are bitcoins safe from attackers who use quantum computers?



The fact is this. There is quite a small number of quantum computers in the world. They are easy to control. And there is no free access to those computers. If the quantum computer is in some cave there is the possibility to double-check the code that s driven by using quantum computers. But if some intelligence service uses that quantum computer. There is the possibility. That it will use as a tool for network attacks. 

Trusted organizations are controlling those systems. And that means the internet is safe from private attackers who use quantum computers. But the problem is that some governments might have a will to attack other states' facilities by using quantum computers. 

Nobody protects people against governmental actors. If the hackers are operating under governmental protection. There is no way to get them to the court. 

The NSA is not the only network intelligence organization in the world. Chinese and Russians are also interesting in quantum computers. And those governments have their way to make hackers cooperate with their military and intelligence organizations. If some hacker would not cooperate those governments will make some trouble to that person who dares to deny their offer. 

In the worst cases, some family members will get in trouble. If the hacker says "no". And the offer goes like this. If the hacker will cooperate with authorities, some of that person's family members would not get a new workplace in carbon mining. 

And one area where quantum computers are the ultimate tools is cryptology. Quantum computers can use to break protective algorithms. The thing is that the benefits and power of quantum computers are well-known. That makes them very financed and very wanted tools.

As I wrote earlier, there are not many quantum computers in the world yet. But the situation can change quite soon. The R&D work around quantum computers continues. And the advantages in that area are impressive. The quantum computers would turn more common all the time. 

And sooner or later also medium and small-size companies can buy those systems. So in those companies may work people with some gang-contacts. And they can offer access to their systems for private hackers.

The biggest threat from the non-governmental sector is that some hackers will get access to quantum computers. And they can use the quantum systems for carking tools. When those quantum systems turn more common, there is the possibility that this kind of quantum system would get into the wrong hands.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
