Justin Bons Warns Quantum Computing May Compromise Zcash and Monero Privacy Within Years

Justin Bons has warned that advances in quantum computing could eventually expose the privacy of Zcash and Monero by breaking elliptic curve cryptography once public keys are revealed. He argues that users needing long-term, life-or-death anonymity should consider mixers that do not rely on zero-knowledge proofs, while other research suggests the broader quantum risk to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is not yet imminent.
