As I understand it (and my understanding may be very noobish), quantum computing isn't a thread unless you re-use addresses and even where it is, the relevant hash algorithms can be swapped out in the future for quantum resistant ones.
However, what if someone has already developed a qc without anyone knowing? What sorts of analyses can we be doing now to assess the likelihood that such an attack has already happened?
Just a thought experiment; I think we're likely far out, but I also think that if any capitalist is developing a qc, he/she isn't incentivized to share his/her status, so it's probably worth having this conversation early.
