    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? A difficult question, but if you think in scale, then you need to build a ship so that it does not break on unpredictable waves. So it is with quanta, otherwise there is no point.

    If you run it WITHOUT gpu than you are not complying with the requirements and will not receive compensation. So think about it.
