1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] QRL - Announcing the Quantum Resistant Ledger on: August 12, 2017, 04:27:29 PM
Most of the time it's hype that leads the price of a coin, not the tech and quantum resistance is something that nobody really needs, until shit hits the fan and then all the markets collapse. The resistance itself will have to be built in every coin, so it will be a feature like how block retargeting was implemented in all coins, anti-asic, anti-pool hopping and so on, it's a math problem that will be copy pasted easily, beside that function, what else will this coin do ?

Just getting into this project but looks like they'll be trying to implement Post-Quantum cryptography in applications other than cryptocurrency where contemporary cryptography algorithms will be eventually obselete, once the mainnet is launched and the basic algorithms are working and such.
