Nostr Web Client

In my latest essay I weigh in on the controversial issue of how to deal with quantum vulnerable bitcoin in a post-quantum future.

After great consideration, I think it's best if we burn quantum vulnerable coins.

I like the idea of a 4 year deadline before the burn. If you miss that deadline it's your own fault.

I guess every Bitcoiner needs to follow obscure discussions on nostr? It’s not like there’s one big mailing list where everyone gets updates like this.

I guess word would go around pretty fast. Exchanges would notify their users, wallet software could introduce allerts...

Has someone done the math on the number of transactions required to move all pre-quantum coins to a new address? I sure hope this migration introduces some new block sizes. (Ducks)

Isn’t dust a subjective term? One man’s dust is another’s stack

In this context I meant UTXOs smaller than the fee needed to spend them to a quatum resistant address.
