The forum is a subdomain and part of https://q-day.org/ . Feel free to discuss about various topics, related to PQC.. Business, stocks & etfs, project showcases, ideas, the quantum threat and more. Lets see where this goes :)
q-day··on I launched q-day.org, the place to discuss about the quantum threat
A bit additional information about the quantum threat and why it matters:

- ECC is speculated to be broken somewhere between 2030-2035 - Many intelligence agencies are already warning for this, including the Dutch AIVD: https://english.aivd.nl/publications/publications/2022/01/18... - NIST is preparing algorithms for standardisation: https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/pos... - IBM released a roadmap to reach many qubits, see: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/roadmap - Various industries are at risk. Anything that uses encryption methods that are vulnerable to quantum computers, will be at risk. I'll name them on my website and deep dive more into it there.

Individuals and corporate needs to take action today. There is also a migration time, we need to keep in mind. If quantum computers capable enough were to exist today, we are already too late.

q-day··on I launched q-day.org, the place to discuss about the quantum threat
I created a new community about the quantum threat and developments. The website also has knowledge center, a newsletter and a discord server, currently set on 50 invites max, to see how it goes!

There is a countdown at the frontpage, until 2030. It is expected quantum computers should be able to break ECC by that time.

Many technologies are at risk in the future and i thought it also could be a great meeting place, for individuals or corporate to exchange contacts to learn more about it.. Perhaps in a more informal environment. Would be nice to see some projects focused on this. Who knows :)

Q-day should cover the basics about the quantum threat and technology basics behind it. I already made a small start but it is far from perfect. If you're an expert at this topic, get in touch with me.

You are also welcome to discuss other technological advancements.

I'm interested to hear your feedback.
