I've watched many (if not all) conversations on in the Internet from representatives at Block.One and Dan Larimer. Disappointingly, no one has brought up or asked about the threat to encryption posed by quantum computing. Therefore, my question to @dan is, what is Block.One doing to protect EOS from quantum computing? Are there planned quantum encryption mechanisms to be put in place?

I've read some articles saying quantum encryption can be effective in that, if an unauthorized person is viewing a state on the blockchain, then that state will change because the person is unauthorized. Therefore, it would be impossible for that unauthorized person to manipulate the blockchain.

Anyone else who has knowledge concerning quantum encryption and EOS, please comment.

Thanks,
