What? Quantum computers don't break SHA256, nor would this attack be "reasonably attributable" to a SHA256 break. In fact, if you have funds in a wallet that has never spent a transaction before (only received), it's still reasonably difficult for a CRQC to steal your funds. The trick is, the moment you've ever spent a transaction, now your public key is known (and therefore breakable). (Yes, I'm aware of the literature on quantum search vs hash functions, but it's not a complete break like RSA or ECC.) | ||
