Quantum Computing and Bitcoin Mining: Evidence Checklist
This checklist evaluates the evidence behind a mining-performance claim. It does not rank hardware, estimate returns or substitute private-key attack resources for a mining workload.
What must a quantum Bitcoin mining benchmark disclose?
A quantum Bitcoin mining benchmark should disclose the mining task actually executed, its success condition and the execution environment. It should distinguish measured hardware results from simulation or a resource model, then identify the target and competing-work assumptions. A reported search advantage becomes a mining comparison only when the complete workload and relevant operating conditions are stated.

The SYNX whitepaper treats signing and consensus as separate protocol roles. This checklist applies that separation to evidence: an algorithm result or signature measurement cannot silently become a Bitcoin mining-performance result.
| Field | Evidence to request | Unsupported conclusion to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Workload | Exact mining task and success criterion | A reduced search problem proves full Bitcoin mining performance |
| Execution | Hardware result, simulation or resource estimate, clearly identified | A model is a measured device benchmark |
| Computation | Included circuit, reliability and execution-time assumptions | A qubit count alone determines useful work |
| Network conditions | Target, competing work and applicable network assumptions | A fixed speed advantage guarantees block rewards |
| Cost boundary | Equipment and operating costs included or omitted | Faster execution automatically means greater profit |

When can two mining results be compared fairly?
Two mining results are comparable only to the extent that their workloads, success conditions and accounting boundaries match. Record what was measured, what was modeled and which costs were omitted. A speed claim does not establish an economic advantage unless it also states the relevant equipment, operating and network assumptions; unknown inputs should remain unknown rather than become a profitability estimate.

Use the table as a reporting form. It contains no measured SYNX or quantum-miner results and assigns no performance score to a project or device.
SYNX claim scope
As reviewed September 21, 2026, the SYNX whitepaper states: “SynX uses SPHINCS+-SHAKE-128s” and “SynX uses Kyber-768”. The signature and key-encapsulation roles are project claims. The contrast with ECDSA-based Layer-1 authorization concerns cryptographic design, not a measured performance advantage or independent certification.
