A Looming Threat to Bitcoin (and the financial world)- The Risk of a Quantum Hack
Advancements in quantum computing pose a potential threat to Bitcoin’s security. Google’s recent progress with its Willow quantum-computing chip has highlighted the possibility that future quantum computers could break the encryption protecting Bitcoin, enabling hackers to access secure digital wallets and potentially causing significant devaluation.
Researchers estimate that a quantum computer capable of such decryption is likely more than a decade away. Nonetheless, the Bitcoin developer community faces the complex task of upgrading the system to incorporate quantum-resistant encryption methods. Achieving consensus within the decentralized community may be a slow process, and users would eventually need to transfer their holdings to quantum-resistant addresses to safeguard their assets.
A quantum-powered attack on Bitcoin could also negatively impact traditional financial markets, possibly leading to substantial losses and a deep recession. To mitigate such threats, President-elect Donald Trump has proposed creating a strategic reserve for the government’s Bitcoin holdings.

Note: the image below is not from the workflow
Nodes:
Install missing nodes in the workflow through the manager.
Models:
Make sure not to mix SD1.5 and SDLX models.
Follow the details under the pdf below.
General suggesions:
– Comfy Org / Flux.1 [dev] Checkpoint model (fp8)
The manager will put it under checkpoints, which will not work.
Make sure to put it under the models/unet folder for the Load Diffusion Model node to work.
– same for realvisxlV50_v50LightningBakedvae.safetensors
it should go under models/vae
