If quantum computing works, we will have a lot more problems then just fixing bitcoin. Cracking bitcoin means cracking everything. :-/

Wow the NSA cares that much about Bitcoin, and not the defense of the Nation!??

Quantum computers are hyped about for decades, yet no substantial proof of their plausibility has been demonstrated. I wouldn't worry about the NSA succeeding in building one.

If I invented a quantum computer, I wouldn't use it to break bitcoin. I'd use it to MINE primecoin dude. I'd make bones, then destroy my work.

If they can break current encryption, then BTC is the least of our worries. They'll be able to break into banks, emails, virtually any online security out there.
Also, if quantum computers are available, people could probably mine with it and have the difficulty raise 100 fold.
