Blockstream 创始人认为量子计算可能使比特币区块链受益

尽管人们普遍担心量子计算的可怕潜力，但 Blockstream 创始人认为这实际上有利于区块链的安全。

Google recently made a breakthrough in quantum computing technology that has left the crypto community spooked.

谷歌最近在量子计算技术方面取得了突破，令加密社区感到震惊。

The major tech advancement came with a remarkable increase in the computational power of chips, leading some to believe that hackers could now attack the cryptographic keys that secure Bitcoin.

主要的技术进步伴随着芯片计算能力的显着提高，导致一些人相信黑客现在可以攻击保护比特币安全的加密密钥。

If dormant wallets, like Satoshi’s, were liquidated, it could cause a mass destabilising event for the coin.

如果像中本聪这样的休眠钱包被清算，可能会导致代币出现大规模不稳定事件。

But, according to prominent blockchain developer Adam Back, quantum computing might actually help secure the protocol.

但是，根据著名的区块链开发人员 Adam Back 的说法，量子计算实际上可能有助于保护协议的安全。

Prominent blockchain developer Adam Back has argued that Bitcoin can leverage recent upgrades like Taproot to become quantum computing resistant without needing to make drastic changes to the blockchain.

著名的区块链开发商 Adam Back 认为，比特币可以利用最近的升级（例如 Taproot）来抵抗量子计算，而无需对区块链进行大幅改变。

Responding to an X (formerly Twitter) thread, Back suggested that a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal to defend against quantum computers like Willow may not be needed.

Back 在回复 X（以前的 Twitter）帖子时表示，可能不需要比特币改进提案来防御像 Willow 这样的量子计算机。

maybe not needed. you can be quantum ready using a taproot leaf committing to a future soft-forkable PQ signature opcode, and a hash-based key scheme. then you can migrate to that PQ ready Schnorr signature, while only paying current signature sizes. then people will calm down.

也许不需要。您可以使用提交未来可软分叉 PQ 签名操作码的主根叶子和基于哈希的密钥方案来做好量子准备。那么您可以迁移到 PQ 就绪的 Schnorr 签名，同时只需支付当前的签名大小。然后人们就会平静下来。

Okay, that’s a lot of complicated words.

好吧，说了这么多复杂的话。

As simply as possible, Back is implying that Bitcoin could leverage the Taproot leaf upgrade and create an operation code designed to stand up against quantum computing attacks.

Back尽可能简单地暗示比特币可以利用主根叶升级并创建旨在抵御量子计算攻击的操作代码。

By ensuring it is “soft-forkable”, the code could then be updated intermittently depending on flaws exposed by quantum computing without requiring a complete overhaul of the Bitcoin blockchain.

通过确保它是“可软分叉”的，代码可以根据量子计算暴露的缺陷间歇性地更新，而不需要对比特币区块链进行彻底检修。

Then, moving to an updated Schnorr signature (a more efficient and secure way of digitally signing transactions on the blockchain) could help defend the protocol to an ever greater level.

然后，转向更新的 Schnorr 签名（一种在区块链上对交易进行数字签名的更高效、更安全的方式）可以帮助将协议保护到更高的水平。

The current state of quantum computing is decades away from actually posing a threat to Bitcoin’s blockchain.

量子计算的当前状态距离真正对比特币区块链构成威胁还有几十年的时间。

But, the fact that this threat exists could spur developers into action, leading them to create a quantum-resistant, inherently more secure network.

但是，这种威胁存在的事实可能会促使开发人员采取行动，导致他们创建一个抗量子的、本质上更安全的网络。

And because the industry has several years before a compromise could become a reality, Bitcoin can be well-prepared for a post-quantum world while other networks suffer.

而且由于该行业距离妥协成为现实还有几年的时间，因此当其他网络遭受损失时，比特币可以为后量子世界做好充分准备。

Essentially, he’s implying this is an opportunity for Bitcoin to be proactive, rather than reactive.

从本质上讲，他暗示这是比特币主动而非被动的机会。
