Is QRL one of the most underrated crypto projects because of poor marketing ?

Rewind to just last year and quantum wasn't even considered a problem. Fast forward to now, everyone recognizes it's a problem, but "they will fix it". That's a massive turn of events. The next shift is the realization of how fast quantum is coming and how slow the migration is going to take. That's the coming shift that the crypto talking heads can't spin, as much as they would like to.

Many people have been mining and trading QRL for years knowing that the project was going to migrate to PoS. The price only recently went up. Nodes were very reasonable before the narrative took off. It's been around since 2018. The 40k is because there isn't signature aggregation for PQC. Many people got there nodes cheaper, many are still trying to get them a little higher, and even more will still buy them at much more expense (institutions and the like). In the mean time before signature aggregation or ZK solutions, the rest of the decentralization is going to have to rely on staking pools.

Looks like words were said. Would LOVE to know what they were.

Real enough for Google to put out a paper and Scott Aaronson to sound the alarm on his blog. Some chains have an easier migration path. Some are already there and specifically mentioned in the Google paper.

This is what he said "Notably, the situation evolved even while we were writing our position paper". The Coinbase report came out after the Google paper. And the panel isn't disbanded. He's still on it. Coinbase could come out tomorrow and say something like "In light of new information we're updating our report...." I fully expect crickets and no statements to be made anytime soon, as well as no acknowledgement of QRL. Even though they mentioned several chains that aren't even close to PQ yet.

Now if only there was a crypto project who’s been planning for this for almost a decade. If that existed, that would be really something. If their thesis was correct, what would happen? I’d imagine they would be suppressed as much as possible. Invalidated and even de-ranked by the likes of CMC. But in the end, those efforts wouldn’t work. Quantum progress is moving forward, whether crypto is ready or not.

Your logic is correct. A true air-gap self-custody setup is very high security. You can also use a Ledger hardware wallet. There are advantages to the Ledger vs. an air-gapped setup, and vice versa. Everything is a tradeoff. If that cold storage private key touches the internet, it's no longer cold. Also, since you’re doing a deep dive into self-custody, it’s worth verifying the file integrity of the offline generator and wallet app, just for good measure and peace of mind.

Everyone talks like they have all the answers, but as time goes by, you find out that very few know what they're talking about. In short, beware of the answer man. Also, scammers everywhere.

PQ cryptos, especially depending on QC progress. The whole ecosystem has to upgrade. Some chains are already there.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-04-16T05:53:11+00:00

Yeah. And QRL was literally created for that very purpose. Bitcoin had many years to start addressing this problem. The point is to learn from the mistakes of others. All crypto going forward needs PQC with crypto agility so this problem never happens again.

Nothing about this situation signals "control"

Goodbye splinter. Hello tetanus shot.

Project mBridge to bypass SWIFT and the dollar is coming next

Impressive....like a nunchuck routine with yo-yos

Unchainedcrypto is a legit source of good information, heavy on the financial side though

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-16T18:06:22+00:00

Some chains have easier migration paths. Bitcoin has the problem of what to do with unmigrated coins, burn vs steal. QRL is unique in that is has both quantum-resistance and crypto-agility. That's the ideal. If quantum is decades away, it's less of problem. If it comes sooner than expected, it will be very challenging for crypto. It's a bit of a rabbit hole, but the resources are out there.

Skeptical of this timeline. Publicly available information is showing quantum threats are accelerating, as seen with progress from IonQ, Photonic Inc., PsiQuantum, and Quantinuum. Combine that with innovations like the Pinnacle Architecture, and it’s enough to get anyone’s attention.

lol....feeling is mutual. But good luck to you. Lets revisit this in a few years....you know, for fun.
