Why has PQC talk ramped up all of the sudden? Is there any development I am not aware of? Last time I checked quantum was still 30 years awaym

Might even be impossible.

Interesting.

Does taproot have a weeker defense against quantum? I thought using the key path spend condition would be vulnerable to quantum because it uses pubkeys.

I think you are correct about the key path, but it can be disabled.

Quantum-threat is a scam, will still be in 10 years. Don't fall for it.

This guy seems compromised since Bitcoin Core 30.0.
