    Aren’t the encryption algorithms used today quantum resistant anyways?

    I’m all for stronger privacy and security, but this just seems like a gimmick.

      I read somewhere its only currently hard due to the number of qbits. Once they get over a certain number (I forget what) they will be breakable

      I think so, also wasn’t quantum computing a real threat for asymmetrical encryption only?
      Some info over here

        Yeah, and since symettric encryption is usually used for file encryption and stuff like that, I honestly don’t see the point in this.

          Exactly, well if anything, I guess the claim is technically correct, which in this case may not be the best kind of correct
