Quantum Computing & Bitcoin
Exploring the intersection of quantum physics and cryptocurrency security
Introduction
BitcoinQ Quantum Computing Project
BitcoinQ is a community-driven quantum computing project with a 5-10 year timeline, aiming to raise 100-500 Bitcoins per year through crowdfunding to develop a quantum computer.
Project Goal
The primary goal is to upgrade approximately 4 million old Bitcoin addresses using P2PK (direct public key) to quantum-resistant addresses.
Technical Service Fee
50%, or 2 million addresses, will be charged as a technical service fee. This fee will be distributed as follows:
- 50% of the technical service fee will be airdropped to crowdfunding participants
- 50% will be used as administrative fees
Vision
This project represents a pioneering effort to future-proof Bitcoin against quantum computing threats while creating a sustainable funding model for quantum computing research and development.
Timeline
5-10 years
Funding Target
100-500 BTC/year
Addresses to Upgrade
~4 million
