Entwickler drängen auf quantenresistente Upgrade für Bitcoin

tldr; Developers warn that quantum computers could compromise 25% of Bitcoin’s supply due to exposed public keys. A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) by Jameson Lopp suggests a three-phase quantum-resistant upgrade. The plan includes blocking quantum-vulnerable addresses, freezing unsecured funds, and potentially recovering frozen assets. The initiative aims to protect approximately 4 million BTC, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings, from future quantum attacks, which could cause significant economic disruption and market instability.

It is hilarious how people have been asking about quantum resistance for weeks & weeks but when an article comes out, nobody seems interested.

If anyone’s curious about the threat of quantum computing and how it relates to crypto, you should listen to this podcast. It’s done by very knowledgeable people and they lay it out pretty succinctly without shilling any projects.

I actually just listened to it today, the issue a lot more nuanced than I thought.

Doesn’t quantum computing threaten every single banking and financial system, not just Bitcoin?
