I'm willing to pay out up to 2 Bitcoin to people or individuals who help me with a project.

The end goal is to identify (time) the exact moment (day/month/year) when a quantum computer successfully breaks a ECDSA public key on secp256k curve, in other words breaks the same kind of cryptography that secures many Bitcoins.

I need this information with 99.% accuracy for this reason, but not urgently. I need the info just days before it happens or so.

To start. I'm willing to open a faucet where people will submit info about quantum computing for example what research facilities there are, what people work there their dox etc.

In reward the users will be paid Bitcoins. Open to suggestions.

It's on an exponential growth curve so small deviations in calculation will lead to massive differences in time deltas.
You might as well be trying to guess the exact time of the singularity.

Here's a brainlet rundown so you don't have to pay big money for things any idiot should be able to google.

ECDSA works on the hidden subgroup problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_subgroup_problem)) which itself builds on the "integer factorization" and "discrete logarithmic factorization" problems.
These algorithms can be assumed to be safe since neither problem can be solved in a reasonable timeframe (exponential runtime in the number of bits)

A polynomial solution exists (Shor's Algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm)) although you need a quantum computer to implement it.
First quantum computer implementations already successfully factorized 15 (5x3), the smallest non-trivial problem in the set.

The first time a big number is solved for by a quantum computer will be big news, and you'll definitely hear about it in time. Quantum computation will (probably) remain a very specialized field only available to governments or universitites. The odds of someone attacking you specifically are very slim.

If you want futureproofing you can just use an algorithm not based on a hidden subgroup problem and be "quantum resistant" right now. The signatures are just 50x as large then.

sadly they are not exactly very vocal on the current state of their quantum machines, so it's hard to tell how far exactly they are.

I'm not aware of an exact qbits-per-bit-of-data number required to break an X-bit key cipher, but I'd guess less or equal than 1:1, and I remember Dwave (?) rolling out a 256 qbit computer sometime last year.

Will post address once my btc wallet is done updating block indices in 2515AD

Quantum has the potential, combined with AI, to completely break what reality is.
For example, I imagine the original GAN formulation can be run on a quantum computer to achieve global minima for any given problem.

what exactly do you intend to train that network with? The data of the last few quantum computers breaking stuff?

As far as I am aware, any of this is new developments, to which you will have an immensly hard time fitting a statistical model

I mean the ec pubkeys not pubkey hashes.
And they remain hidden till an address pays the first time.

>>9648966
btw my guess is the following: btc and all it's forks will be quantum proofed long before it becomes a reality to public knowledge to attack them.

the signature scheme will be altered so that it becomes impossible to use shors at all. that will not effect the old sleeping addresses like satoshis and eventually someone will mine them if the owner doesn't show up.

>> No.9649293

>>9649242
but when the address pays the remaining balance is transferred to a new address by default isn't it?

>> No.9649352

>>9649293
I feel you are correct. (although can't prove it)
Quantum proof coins already exist and they use some schemes like XMSS or whatever.

yep the change goes to new fresh address in most wallets.
So in effect the transaction is in quantum danger only in flight.

Assuming in the beginning they won't have their quantum beast turned on 24/7 cracking transactions in flight. so there is slight period in which we are safe even after the discovery.

But I ask for the specific moment when they crack the first pubkey.

that's entirely possible, but you can't underestimate the power of panic.

>But I ask for the specific moment when they crack the first pubkey.
that's impossible to determine. anyone that says otherwise is lying. 10-20 years is my guess. but it's also almost every researchers guess also.

if you can get a more accurate guess where so much is random brain activity and sheer luck i salute you.

Not possible at all to predict within a few dates of this. Anyone claiming they can is absolute bullshit OP. Keep your 2 bitcoins.

Here's a first step to finding out what you need to break it. Calculate out the number of qubits needed for such a computer to be able to brute force attack the encryption. If I recall correctly, we are only at the level of around 10 qubit quantum computers, and the computational power for qubits is exponential, where as for bits it is not. I would need to dig up an article if you want to read more about it

i have been thinking about this only the morons who keep reusing receiving addresses that they actually payed from are in real danger first hand. standard practice of how bitcoin wallets are handled is actually quiet resistant to this attack on the private key.

but once the quantum cryptography becomes fast enough to realtime attack transactions, oh boy... that's not expected in any time soon tho.

one easy way i can see out of this is is you first post the hash of your transaction (you keep the actual transaction secret) signed, and once it's incorporated into the blockchain it's impossible (or practically close enough) to alter the transaction with that tx id and impossible to reuse the private key. but then if the network rejects your transaction details you are cucked out of your coins (or would be vulnerable to subsequent q attack).
