Title: Bitcoin Private Keys could be cracked With Quantum computers
Post by: marconicolo on October 24, 2019, 02:04:23 PM
Google has left everyone awestruck with it's latest technological development of quantum computer which claimed to hold the potential of handling intricate calculations in seconds. while on the other hand the entire procedure for bitcoin mining and transaction based and secured by complex mathematical structures, which are almost impossible to breakthrough. though not sure for how long with the new quantum approaching.
This news has shaked many bitcoin holders and traders worried of losing their BTC, though this time it's not about price it's something much bigger than that, something that can change the fate of crypto industry from its core.

I think thats too early to presume, Its just an announcement to create a hype! But quantum computing is achievable but i think its not like that easy or instantly to create a new hybrid computing machine and change all of the sudden of what we use today, If those quantum computing machines was already in existence i dont think cryptocurrency developers are not able to cope up with a solution with that so called threat!

So far, quantum computers do not exist and say that they will not appear soon. Therefore, it’s too early to be scared. In principle, every digital technology can be hacked more advanced. And so it can be forever. Therefore, of course, there is something to fear.

There is no forever I guess. It is not unusual that someone can step up and this process from Google is just a start. Meaning, anything can reduce work is really possible when some genius put their effort to create it. Well this is it. Of course some will trigger that cryptocurrency isn't always the best option for easy life or appropriate method for fast and secure transaction. But I dont believe market will tremble with this news and causing a bloody market with bitcoin market.

If this news is true, then this news is quite alarming, because if they are able to hack the private keys of Bitcoin, the holders of Bitcoin will be worried that their money is lost. But I'm sure not all of that, after hearing this news too, Bitcoin technology will increase their security against those who will act detrimental to holders of Bitcoin.

In my opinion, digital technology will always be vulnerable to hacking. The private keys of our wallets, although they contain a lot of beech and numbers, however, there is still a certain chance of getting into someone else's wallet if you take a long look at their various options. After the advent of quantum computers, this will really be a serious problem for cryptocurrency users.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Private Keys could be cracked With Quantum computers
Post by: Senin on December 04, 2019, 06:42:38 PM
Yes, it seems that such a danger does exist. We can assume that technology does not stand still and the possibility of cracking any digital codes may well appear. The assurance that people with a criminal purpose will not be able to use these new technologies is absolutely unconvincing. I even think that in many states special services will be created that will deal with hacking such codes and stealing cryptocurrencies. Although we, as always, will be assured of the opposite.

History just shows that cybercriminals primarily acquire such technologies, despite any restrictions.  Therefore, we have something to think about right now.  If quantum computers were to easily hack into our wallets, the cryptocurrency would quickly devalue.  Whatever measures the government takes is unlikely to help.  It should also be noted that governments in general are not very interested in the existence of a decentralized cryptocurrency.  However, the availability of quantum computers will threaten the normal circulation and their digitalized currencies.  Therefore, it will still be a common problem.

Scientists do not deny that in ten years, modern cryptographic protocols can be hacked using a quantum computer for about ten minutes pass between the broadcast of the transaction and its processing in the bitcoin blockchain. During this time, the quantum computer will be able to calculate the private key based on the public one and will be able, for example, to transfer bitcoins to another wallet. But I hope that these 10 years and security will not stand still, but will constantly improve.

Most importantly, the likelihood of such a hacking in our wallets exists and it is quite real.  While experimental quantum computers are being prepared for release, already at this, and maybe even earlier, such computers will fall into the hands of criminals, and then many may lose their millions of dollars in cryptocurrency wallets.  I think first of all we need to be wary of our fat whales.  They will be targeted by attackers first.  After all, access to the contents of wallets is still publicly available.

I don't think it will be easy because the keys of the bitcoin wallet have a lot of encryption and the quantum computer doesn't necessarily crack the encryption code that the bitcoin wallet has.

This is one of the major threats to cryptocurrency in the not too distant future. According to the available information, quantum computers in a very short time will be able to crack existing private keys from our cryptocurrency wallets. We can only hope that our programmers will come up with something by that time.

Meanwhile, yesterday I read in the news that China is going to supply schools with low-power quantum computers for two qubits, which will cost about $ 5,000. The goal is to familiarize students with the principles of quantum computers. That is, real quantum computers have already been created.

If this still happens and the new quantum computer can calculate passwords to private wallets, then this will be the end of cryptocurrencies. But I think it's too early to draw such conclusions, although even if it were, they would have done everything quietly revealing passwords at first to those wallets that are considered lost or for many years there were no movements. In addition, there are only 10 attempts to guess the password and to be honest, I doubt that even a super-powerful computer is capable of this.

I dont think so. Any private wallet system programming anticipates the risk of password leakage. If quantum computers can access everything then where are we going to store our assets?

This is bad news for bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders. But I agree with those who say that as long as quantum computers can crack wallets, there will be ways to secure wallets and protect them.  Now even without quantum computers, hackers can steal private keys through malware, so you always have to be careful.

To begin with, there are still no 100% manufactured quantum computers, when they are finished, they will not be available to anyone, and the few people (universities, armies, laboratories) who have access will be very controlled. I don't know where I read that when that happens, the Bitcoin protocol can also be updated, so there will be no problem. Now we must make that not happen, not worry about it happening in the future.

I do not understand a little why to escalate the situation at a time when there are no reasons for concern at this period. When at least one quantum computer is working, then no payment system, including the banking system, will be safe. But nevertheless, the cryptocurrency market does not stand still and developers in the future will come up with new and new technologies that in the future will resist the quantum computer.

@gotbounty we are just talking about a hypothetical scenario, no quantum computer has cracked any Bitcoin (nor from other chains) private keys. We are talking that with this processing capacity in theory it would be possible, but in return we know that the developers of Bitcoin and other blockchains are not going to wait for that to happen. There are still years (many) to be able to "see" a quantum computer, and practically nobody will have access to them as I said in my previous post.

@arnold dudicove quantum computers are not being manufactured or programmed to violate anyone's privacy or steal anyone's funds, but as everything in life depends on how we use things, for example cars, they are not made to run over, but there are criminals who use them. Knives were not invented for that either, they are not made to stab, but there are people who use them to stab. In the same way, quantum computers are made to be able to process calculations much faster than conventional ones.

Title: Re: Bitcoin Private Keys could be cracked With Quantum computers
Post by: Freemind on February 10, 2021, 04:35:30 PM
@Pacar Tiri taking into account that blockchain is based on cryptography and decentralization, the computing speed of a quantum computer could theoretically break the encrypted private keys and associated with public keys, in addition to being able to reach more than 51% of the mining nodes of the Bitcoin network. Making one of the great advantages of the system, security and consensus, are not guaranteed.

The solution will be that other teams will adapt to it and that if a cryptographic system will be corrected before anyone else, it will be that of a blockchain network as it is open source and can quickly make a variation on it.

Mathematically, of course, it is very difficult for anyone to hack a private key, moreover there is a claim about this for me is a story that is spiked with something that can be interesting so that many read and also benefit from the news it makes. This method is being used a lot because by clicking that the profit will be obtained.

The private key is made in such a way as to protect everyone's property from being misused. so the manufacture has also been designed so that it is not easy for someone to try to hack it. although there may be complaints that there is a tool that is very sophisticated and it is said that it will be able to hack it, for me it is just a complaint so that it can be tranding on the topic of a news only.

If there is, how to do it scientifically, it needs to be proven so that one can believe that someone has been able to crack the private key. but until now this news has not been booming and has created panic among private key holders.
still safe, safe and does not seem to be a crucial problem.

strong computers can crack strong passwords. this is a correct statement. So we create stronger passwords against strong computers.

a computer consumes energy (electricity) to decipher a code. energy is expensive. not easily available.

a password only strengthens the equation to become stronger. math is infinite and free. It has a model open to the universe.


Those who want to crack the password will have to spend expensive and hard-to-reach energy. Those who want to protect the password will simply complicate the equation. that's it! everything is safe! Everything will pick up where it left off, except for a sensational price drop. :)

Yeah, it is complex. A hacker can hack a private key probably easily with their own tool. And if Google provides or there is some space for hackers to make it easier through Quantum Computers, I think that crypto enthusiasts will be also more careful. We can see that the projects are developing right now and they also focus on the security of the systems.

It has already been calculated that with current technology, quantum computers will be able to crack the security codes of cryptocurrencies in a maximum of ten years. This is despite the fact that technologies will practically stand still and already accumulated information will be used. But we know that science and technology do not stand still. Digital technologies have been developing very rapidly in recent years. Therefore, it may be that this effect can be achieved in a few years. It is not worth relaxing, and it is better to look for and implement developments now that will counteract such capabilities of quantum computers.

Instead of buying or assembling a Quantum computer, it's better for us to mine Bitcoin and trade it in the market because this is a bigger advantage than having to crack an existing Bitcoin private key, which will yield zero results from a cracked private key.
I'm also sure that Quantum computers do exist but maybe only some people have them and of course those who have them are also better off using their Quantum computers for more real and simple Bitcoin mining for profit.

The truth is that with a quantum computer I don't think it is possible that they can break the SHA 256 codes, this is analogous to how when the Mark-1 came out, it was a bed that barely did some operations, and over time new ones were coming out generations of it, in the first generation of quantum computers it will be something analogous, but with the exception that a lot of data will be handled that for us is impossible to quantify with a traditional computer.

Instead of buying or assembling a Quantum computer, it's better for us to mine Bitcoin and trade it in the market because this is a bigger advantage than having to crack an existing Bitcoin private key, which will yield zero results from a cracked private key.
I'm also sure that Quantum computers do exist but maybe only some people have them and of course those who have them are also better off using their Quantum computers for more real and simple Bitcoin mining for profit.

Only a few (very few) large corporations (Jian-Wei Pan, Honeywell, Intel, IBM, Google...) have prototypes of quantum computers. It is not a 100% functional technology and it is not available to be a consumer product for many, many years, and with very low and expensive configurations. Neither quantum mining (if it ever exists) nor the computing power to crack private keys should concern us, the Bitcoin code could be upgraded as more powerful machines appear.

Wow!
What news is this again?
It seems the media is short on good news about Bitcoin. lol
I can't say much more about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is something unique and difficult to crack in terms of private keys.
Instead of looking for Bitcoin weaknesses, maybe it's better for us to look for Bitcoin by mining or trading in various markets, right ?

No one can crack private key, although use quantum computer.
It's impossible.
I think we should keep our private key on our email, Its better to do.
I think It's just shit news, If there is people that crack private key on quantum computer.
Never happen.

I think It's good news if quantum computer can crack private key.
It seems impossible to happen, I agree with the member that have opinion, this is impossible.
But anything can happen.
We all know there are many people that lost their private key at the last time.
No solution for this problem, We should keep our private key at hardware and software. agreed.

As I have said on occasion, it will be many years before quantum computers are available to some companies, and many more years before an ordinary user can buy one, of course they will be very expensive and underpowered. But that does not matter now, when quantum computers are a fact, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will have the necessary mechanisms to protect themselves from these types of attacks, some developers have stated this on several occasions.

Quantum PCs are only for people who want to do research and of course it's not easy to get them, quantum PCs are not like PCs on the market like in general because these PCs are not designed for ordinary use. so I think it would be pointless to have a very good and very expensive PC but still not multifunctional.

This is already becoming a reality. Quantum computers are improving quite rapidly. It is estimated that at the current rate of development of their capacities, it will take about ten years for them to be able to crack the security codes of cryptocurrencies. And this is in the event that something new is not invented, which will significantly speed up this process.
In China, not very powerful quantum computers are already being supplied to schools so that they study the principle of its operation and know how to use it.

The computers that the Chinese government is giving to schools in the country are low-end computers, 1 or 2 qubits. And although they can be called quantum computers, in reality they are very far from offering the power of prototypes like those of Google, for example. There are many years to go before we can see really powerful machines, but we must remember that they will be within the reach of very few pockets, since they will be very expensive.

We don't have a quantum computer right now so I don't see this as a big deal for BTC and the crypto market. We have the best experts in the field and I believe they can use blockchain technology to protect users. The power of a decentralized network is greater than the power of a mainframe.

Nevertheless, quantum computers have been created and continue to improve. So, scientists in Austria managed to improve a quantum computer and create the world's first universal quantum computer, which is built on the basis of kudits - the so-called multi-level quantum bits.

The essence of the discovery is that most of the existing quantum computers are computers built on the basis of the so-called qubits - quantum analogues of logical bits (artificial analogues of the hydrogen atom with two energy levels). Along with qubits, there are qudits - more complex quantum memory cells - qutrits and kukvadras - structures with three or four levels. In theory, kutrits and kukvadras allow you to process more data with fewer particles, but at the same time they are much more difficult to manipulate and connect with each other.
Therefore, the researchers decided for the first time to use qudits based on calcium ions - such a move made it possible to create a universal quantum computer that will significantly increase the speed of calculations.
In such a machine, each of the qudits has eight well-defined energy levels, seven of which physicists have learned to use for calculations.
And if you place a calcium ion in a magnetic-electric trap, illuminating it with a laser, you can manipulate the properties of the energy levels.

It was this idea that helped create two prototypes of a universal quantum computer built on the basis of three and ten qudits. Such a computer is capable of performing all the logical operations available to qubit computers by changing the number of energy levels used in individual qudits.

According to Austrian physicists, while the created computers make many random errors during operation, however, in the near future, scientists plan to significantly reduce their number. This, in particular, can be achieved by using more powerful magnets and high-frequency traps to retain calcium ions.

All statements that such computers will be very expensive and will be used only for research do not hold water. Criminals will take them first. After all, if they hack wallets with bitcoins worth several billion dollars, then for them it will be worth it and they will pay any amount for such a computer.

I think hackers can take action when crypto users use hot wallets, currently there is a blockchain invention that supports Quantum security system and I am interested in investing in it.
For Bitcoin, I think when quantum computers didn't exist, there were already hacks on platforms like Binance and hackers easily took 7000 BTC by exploiting loopholes in user accounts.

In recent years, we have seen a lot of discoveries in the field of quantum computing and quantum computers. Recently I read the news that scientists from the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute in New York have created a new, never seen before phase of matter. Its peculiarity is that atoms have two time dimensions, although they exist in our single time stream.

Physicists have created this strange phase of matter by firing a laser with a pulse based on the Fibonacci sequence at the atoms used inside a quantum computer. They argue that this could be a breakthrough in quantum computing because it can protect stored information from the errors that occur in current quantum storage methods. Data degradation is still happening, but at a much slower rate. Although physicists have shown that this method creates much more reliable qubits, they acknowledge that they still have a lot of work ahead of them. This new phase of matter could lead to long-term storage of quantum information, but only if they can somehow integrate it into a quantum computer.

We see that the field of quantum computing is developing very quickly and it is difficult to say how soon quantum computers will actually threaten the private keys from our cryptocurrency wallets. After all, predicting discoveries in the field of physics is quite difficult. It remains to be hoped that by this time the cryptocurrency will also be reliably protected.

Google has left everyone awestruck with it's latest technological development of quantum computer which claimed to hold the potential of handling intricate calculations in seconds. while on the other hand the entire procedure for bitcoin mining and transaction based and secured by complex mathematical structures, which are almost impossible to breakthrough. though not sure for how long with the new quantum approaching.
This news has shaked many bitcoin holders and traders worried of losing their BTC, though this time it's not about price it's something much bigger than that, something that can change the fate of crypto industry from its core.

that is why in the digital era, we must be careful. at least, be careful with phising link, be careful when we got a link to clik, program to join, and also the way we secure our data

Just because you haven't heard about the new possibilities of quantum computers doesn't mean it can't happen. Recently, I have already read several articles about serious positive experiments that can dramatically increase the computing power of quantum computers. Moreover, such inventions cannot be planned in advance. Therefore, everything is possible. But I'm not particularly worried. First of all, wallets for very large sums will be at stake.

Of course, there is a strong possibility that over time, quantum computers will become so powerful that they will be able to crack the secret keys to crypto wallets. If the participants in this market do not prepare in time for such a scenario, then it will be a disaster. There is no doubt that this invention will very quickly fall into the hands of bad people. Therefore, such vulnerabilities should always be remembered.

But quantum computing is achievable but i think its not like that easy or instantly to create a new hybrid computing machine and change all of the sudden of what we use today, If those quantum computing machines was already in existence i dont think cryptocurrency developers are not able to cope up with a solution with that so called threat
