We seriously need a "time out" room for people that post this topic for the Nth time without searching.
The very, very short summary which includes absolutely nothing that I haven't posted at least once or twice before:
Quantum computers running
Shor's algorithm have some chance of seriously challenging the security of ECDSA at some time in the future, probably 2+ decades from now.
Quantum computers running
Grover's algorithm have pretty much no chance at all of hindering mining in the lifetime of anyone old enough to read this post today.*
D-wave boxes do something called annealing. Opinions are still somewhat divided, but so far it appears pretty likely that the annealing they are doing is actually quantum in nature. Quantum annealing is useful for implementing neither Shor's algorithm, nor Grover's algorithm.
Work on general purpose quantum computing devices is underway, with the current world record (I think) standing at
21=3*7. **

Grover's algorithm is fantastically powerful. It would destroy mining (or rather, it would force a switch to a new hashing algorithm). The catch is that to use it, you have to physically build a single stateless circuit to implement whatever you are trying to search, and you have to build it out of reversible gates, and you have to keep the whole thing coherent and stable. Building even a classical stateless circuit for SHA2-256 is still in the realm of deep fantasy.**
Humorous quote: "The algorithmic output is distinguishable from noise, in contrast to previous demonstrations."
