So, bitcoin will go down the drain after quantum computer surface, what about X11 it's more tricky cause of the multiple algorithms?
and check out the quantum-secure cryptography picture at the link...

maybe dash needs a quantum safe algo at some point in the future?

It is tricky with quantum computers. If they become reality not only Bitcoin and Dash are in troubles due to possibility of cracking private keys, but the entire financial system (banking exchanges etc). A while back Vitalik Buterin suggested using Lamport signatures to make Bitcoin quantum-safe. I imagine that - if implemented correctly - it could help Dash resist quantum computers as well.
