It is well known that cryptography is a encryption technique extremely complex, and therefore, the mining machine must offer certain specifications. It is for this reason that the announcement of the new quantum computer Google, it is a matter of interest for many people. In this sense, there are several unknowns that have emerged, since many believe that this machine is a problem for the cryptography of Bitcoin, as well as other cryptocurrencies. All this, caused that Andreas Antonopoulos gave important statements, which are worth knowing.

The quantum computer of Google, trained for tasks really complicated
Recently, Google has announced the creation of a quantum computer, positioning itself as the king of quantum computing. This is all due to the specifications of your machine; which, is 72 qubits. In the statement, Google bragged that this computer was in the ability to solve large problems, which naturally would take years; but with the use of this could be resolved in a few seconds. It is for this reason that, many people have begun to consider the possibility of this machine to solve complicated ciphers of cryptography; causing as well, a new topic to talk about.
What the experts think: Is it possible that this machine is a problem for cryptography?
Up to now, only one of the influential most important of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, have given their statements. This is Andreas Antonopoulos, who last October 10, provided the words that belie the possible cause of the problem, assumed that it might involve the computer Google. In this sense, their exact statements were: “What is the effect on the mining and the cryptocurrencies in general terms? (…) Nothing, nothing happens in reality.” In addition, he also stated that these concerns and misunderstandings were unfounded, as Google had claimed that his computer could solve more complicated problems than those solved previously by other machines. However, at no time spoke of breaking the cryptography.
What are Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in danger?
Through the years, many people have wondered if at some point it would be possible that the encryption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, can be broken. And despite the fact that the quantum computer Google, provides great qualities, yet we do not have the technology required to do this. It is worth mentioning that, the first time that appeared these unknowns, it was the same Antonopoulos who denied. Andreas Antonopoulos says about the quantum computer to Google
What measures they will take Bitcoin and other criptodivisas?
Despite the fact that the current technology is not enough to break the cryptography, every time you create new systems really sophisticated. Therefore, it is possible that at some point you create a machine that is on par with the technology of the cryptocurrencies. It is for this reason that, within the routes of Bitcoin, is the task of becoming a strong platform to the quantum; this is in regards to their algorithms used in cryptography. These statements were also given by the same Antonopoulos. The following two tabs change content below. I am a young man from Venezuela 18 years, lover of technology, innovation, and economic events that govern the world. One of my passions are cryptocurrencies.
