You really think a single Sig 12 word seed is going to be cracked in a few days with a quantum computer?
So why are all these wallets providing 12 word phrases like electrum, green wallet, wasabi, jam, samourai etc. So you're saying none of these developers are wrong?
Common mate....
first; you did not understand me -> 12! = 479001600 that is the total number os possibilities assuming you have a 12 word seed (and you know all of the words but not the order)
second: if we assume that you have the capabilities (both technical and financial pov) a 12 word seed is a joke for 1000 qubits (or even more assuming perfect syncronization of superstates and the binary compilation and algorithms far beyond basic grover for error correction and so much more) - I know that most likely nobody will understand what I am talking about but anyway...it takes some days and you got the result.
-> what is important to notice: nobody performs such attacks in practice yet, there are endless reasons why it's not a real option to the time of writing. but this will change in the next decades.
