Well we should find out pretty soon. There is a paper claiming that a 1,700 qubit quantum computer can crack 2048-bit RSA. Atom Computing has an 1180-qubit quantum computer, and IBM has an 1121-qubit one. So unless somebody is fudging something (which is quite likely I admit) then we should find out in the next year or two I think.
I don't like spraying. I put that in NIP-65 and nobody pushed back, I guess everybody liked it. But it was a "I can't think of anything else" hail mary pass.
What I don't like is that you don't know that your scatter will overlap with my gather, especially with thousands of relays. So you are incentivised to spray to many relays, and I also am incentivised to gather from many relays, and this seems like more traffic than is necessary and still failure prone. Whereas in a DHT there is an algorithm to help choose which nodes hold the data, and a means of data survival even when nodes drop off the network.
