| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Them can do some computations MUCH faster, so them can hack the net. Centralized systems also may have this kind of vulnerability, but it depends on their implementation. |
The configuration is underspeced.
You will need a GPU that meets the minimum requirements (Nvidia Turing, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 or greater) or a lot, lot more CPU power.
The computer is not powerful enough.
