curious on your perspective:
while this and Golem have a strong value proposition for their advantages of lowering costs and increasing speeds of decentralized processing power (to my understanding), what do you foresee happening to/with them years down the road once quantum computers hit market?
I'd assume that once quantum computers become more accessible, their capabilities would blow even networks like these out of the water, thus rendering them extinct. Or, how I might be mistaken on this...?
First of all, dana, excellent write-up. I am so excited to make use of my tokens with future dApps. The initial launch of the app store has me super excited for the potential power an individual will be able to harness. I made a similar article and compared iExec with its competitors and linked some of my favorite resources. If you guys are interested it's a great compilation!

But that's actually a super interesting point. Need to think more about that one. True quantum needs insane cooling and thus will only be available in the cloud short to medium term. So my guess is very few will be available and heavily queued for truly intensive mathematical computation. However. the computing need for scaled applications will be more immediate. Longer term outlook maybe they find solutions to the cooling problem.
