Meanwhile, we'll do a modest rollback on blockchains, release quantum-resistant algorithms, and be back up faster than anything else will be. And that's a worst case scenario where we are caught off guard.
Rollback blockchains? How? They’re distributed all over the place. Good luck with that.
“release quantum-resistant algorithms”
I’ve seen some of these alleged ones. Anything running on a classic computer simply cannot be quantum-resistant. Only quantum computing can be used to implement truly quantum-resistant algorithms, and true quantum computing mostly only exists in advance labs. Us little people cannot buy real quantum computing. Simulations and fluff? Sure. That’s the junk people get fooled into thinking is quantum computing. Also why some people (one Freeper above is an example) think quantum computing isn’t real. But it is. Access to the real deal though? It’s rare and not possible for normal people, businesses, etc.
