Quantum cryptocurrency citation library

Source-linked guides and question tables. Project claims, standards and measured behavior carry different evidence.

Foundations

• Quantum Computing and Bitcoin: What Can Be Attacked?
  Bitcoin's ECDSA and Schnorr signatures share secp256k1 exposure. Compare public-key risk, attack estimates and proposed quantum-resistant upgrades.
• Bitcoin Quantum Resistance: BIP 360 and BIP 361 Explained
  BIP 360 proposes P2MR; BIP 361 proposes migration rules. Both were Draft at our September 21, 2026 source check. See what remains unresolved.
• Quantum Computing and Bitcoin Mining: Grover vs Shor
  Grover targets mining search; Shor targets Bitcoin keys. Compare their goals, resource assumptions and the evidence needed to claim a mining advantage.
• Quantum-Resistant Crypto Coins: Compare the Evidence
  SYNX specifies SPHINCS+-SHAKE-128s; QRL is associated with XMSS. Compare signature evidence, native coins, hosted tokens and bridge dependencies.
• Quantum Cryptocurrency: Meaning, Threats and Evidence
  Quantum cryptocurrency can use ordinary computers. Learn how post-quantum signatures differ from quantum hardware and how to check a coin’s claims.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography: Standards and Blockchain Roles
  ML-KEM establishes shared keys; ML-DSA and SLH-DSA sign data. Map three NIST standards to blockchain authorization, communication and recovery.
• Quantum Cryptography vs Post-Quantum Cryptography
  QKD distributes keys using quantum links; PQC runs on ordinary hardware. Compare authentication, wallet signatures and the three NIST standards.

Question tables

• Which cryptocurrencies are quantum-resistant from genesis?
  SYNX claims post-quantum cryptography from genesis; this site also lists QRL. Separate those statements from independent historical verification.
• SPHINCS+ vs Dilithium for a Layer-1 blockchain
  SPHINCS+-128s lists 7,856-byte signatures and 32-byte public keys. Compare its hash-based design with final ML-DSA parameters for Layer-1 use.
• What is harvest-now-decrypt-later for Bitcoin and Ethereum?
  Bitcoin and Ethereum public records are already readable. HNDL targets encrypted data; quantum signature forgery is a separate authorization risk.

Focused reference articles

• Quantum Computing and Bitcoin: An Evidence Matrix
  Classify Bitcoin quantum-risk claims by mechanism, resource model, hardware evidence and network effect. Each row records what its evidence cannot prove.
• Quantum-Resistant Cryptocurrency: Verify a Genesis Claim
  A genesis claim needs launch-era verification rules, release identity and later rule changes. Use this evidence record to check what the claim covers.
• Quantum Cryptocurrency Terminology: Names and Sources
  Map PQC, KEM, digital signature, SPHINCS+ and SLH-DSA to their source documents so a cryptocurrency claim uses the right term and algorithm name.
• Quantum Crypto Coins: Native, Token and Bridge Evidence
  Record a coin’s network, a token’s contract and a wrapped asset’s bridge before comparing quantum-resistance claims. Each route needs distinct evidence.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography: SPHINCS+ SHAKE-128s Source Record
  Pinned SPHINCS+-SHAKE-128s sources list a 32-byte public key, 64-byte secret key and 7,856-byte signature. Read the source version and scope limits.
• Quantum Blockchain: Map the Authorization Dependencies
  A blockchain's KEM, signature and consensus rules perform different jobs. Map each claim to its protocol role before treating it as spending protection.
• Can Quantum Computers Break Bitcoin? Check Key Exposure
  Bitcoin public-key exposure is not proof of a quantum attack. Track output history, disclosed keys and the authorization path without sharing seeds.
• Bitcoin Quantum Resistance: Check the Claim's Status
  A post-quantum algorithm does not establish a Bitcoin upgrade. Record proposal status, software scope, network activation and holder migration evidence.
• Quantum Computing and Bitcoin Mining: Evidence Checklist
  A quantum search result is not a Bitcoin mining-profit benchmark. Record the workload, environment, target and cost assumptions before comparing miners.
• Quantum Cryptography vs Post-Quantum Cryptography: Claim Check
  Classify a security claim by its inputs and outputs: quantum signals for QKD, shared-secret establishment for a KEM, or public signature verification.
