[Alice&Bob says 30,000-qubit quantum computer could crack BTC wallet in 62 minutes]

European quantum computing startup Alice&Bob said a quantum computer with 30,000 qubits could crack a Bitcoin wallet’s encryption in 62 minutes, according to CoinDesk.

Alice&Bob said more than six million BTC held at addresses with already exposed public keys could be potential attack targets and funds should begin to be moved, while adding the findings are theoretical and would require advances in hardware and power efficiency.

The estimate is one-seventeenth of the level presented by Google in March. At the time, Google presented a report indicating a quantum computer with 500,000 qubits could crack BTC encryption.

[Axis Robotics says team did not sell AXIS tokens]

Axis Robotics said it has halted all further dealings with an over-the-counter counterparty after large-scale AXIS selling on Oct. 28-29, saying it strongly suspects the counterparty sold into the market.

The company said the tokens sold were part of the ecosystem allocation from the initial circulating supply and were distributed through the counterparty under a written agreement that included lock-up terms. If the suspected sales occurred, the counterparty would have breached the contract, Axis Robotics said.

Axis Robotics added that 835 million AXIS subject to lock-up, including team and investor allocations, remains under vesting agreements, accounting for 83.5% of the total supply, and will not be unlocked before the end of the 12-month mandatory lock-up period. The company said it is reviewing the contract with legal counsel and plans to pursue all contractual remedies available. It also said all remaining ecosystem tokens will be distributed only through on-chain vesting.
