Title: Quantum Hashing Post by: Pierce on May 18, 2011, 05:26:12 AM I just ordered some parts to build my own mining rig but there is always a new technology on the horizon. I'm not the most technically inclined but was wondering if something such as the D Wave Onehttp://www.dwavesys.com/en/products-services.html (http://www.dwavesys.com/en/products-services.html) would be a viable option for mining?

That sounds amazing! You wouldn't make any BTC with it though I'd imagine. Title: Re: Quantum Hashing Post by: benjamindees on May 18, 2011, 05:41:59 AM Heh, I think this requires a bit more than a few thousand dollars and some programming experience.
128 qubits is a bit beyond what is believably feasible. It sounds like there is some salesmanship going on here. http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/loser-dwave-does-not-quantum-compute http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/04/03/1613206/New-Quantum-Record-14-Entangled-Bits Title: Re: Quantum Hashing Post by: commlinx on May 18, 2011, 05:58:06 AM Apart from the qubit count being a bit of a quantum leap I'm pretty sure I read that quantum computers can only partly solve SHA hashes. So it does reduce the strength, but the bit count could just be increased to mitigate when/if it becomes plausible.
