Title: Bitcoin and Moore's Law Post by: barbarousrelic on December 14, 2010, 09:52:45 PM Does the exponential increase in processor speed pose any threat to the integrity of Bicoin 10 or 15 years down the road? Will processors ever get fast enough that an individual can spend somebody else's bitcoins by calculating their private keys from their public keys (or however else someone might try to compromise the system)?
