How does the NSA revelation effect bitcoin? Quantumcopper? >NOT QUANTUM COMPUTER

[fog-or-vos]

I don't have a computer sci background but I'm wondering how the quantumcopper exploit could effect bitcoin. By the sound of it it's essentially a kill switch for the internet/bitcoin users if it's properly directed... talk about at 0:29:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vILAlhwUgIU  is it good by blockchain at that point?
Thanks for the insight.

No doubt they have an exploit that steals your wallet....

..Oz, thanks for the reply, the exploit that I was referring to is not to do with the ability to steal a wallet/iphone issue...(as I understand the quantumcopper exploit applying anyways..)

Has nobody seen this Chaos Communication Congress lecture? Is this quantumcopper exploit not a risk to the bitcoin protocol if nodes are in need of continual connectivity to the network/users ability to make transactions and there is a way to reset/disrupt that connection effectively making it inaccessible/turned off?

Or do I have it all misunderstood?

seems like researchers have found a satisfactory material for making quantum chips

well I agree its a must watch video, although Im not scared for my coins, at all

Isn't the correct word 'affect'?

curious how that happens.... The NSA seems to have a way with clever naming schemes for their projects.....

as an aside I can not imagine how they are able to collect so much data if they don't have the most advanced technology NOT-known-to-man...
