Bitcoin’s biggest long-term enemy may not be governments, exchange hacks, or the usual parade of scammers — it may be quantum computing. Project Eleven is warning that Bitcoin could face a serious cryptographic threat by 2030, and while that does not mean the network is on death row, it does mean the clock is ticking. […]

A quantum researcher just won 1 BTC for cracking a 15-bit elliptic curve key, and while that is nowhere near enough to break Bitcoin, it is a reminder that quantum computing is not just a lab toy anymore. Project Eleven paid Giancarlo Lelli for a successful quantum ECC break 15-bit key recovered in about 45 […]

Quantum computing just took another uncomfortable step toward the Bitcoin security debate, after Project Eleven’s Q-Day Prize was claimed by a researcher who broke a 15-bit elliptic curve cryptography key using publicly available quantum hardware. It’s a toy-sized crack, not a Bitcoin-busting event — but it’s another reminder that the quantum risk is real, even […]

Bernstein says quantum computing is not shaking Bitcoin security right now — and that’s the sane take. The quantum panic cycle keeps coming back like bad code, but BTC’s cryptography is still standing, and there’s a big gap between scary theoretical math and a machine that can actually break Bitcoin. Bernstein’s view: quantum computing is […]
