Agreed.
Everyone making a mountain from a mole hill.
Quantum resistance is being developed. Once it’s ready the address format should be implemented. Giving optionality.
There’s no financial gain for a quantum attacker to come out of nowhere and steal legacy coins. The same as there’s no financial gain in a 51% attack.
You don't seem to be aware of how damaging adding a quantum option to the network is to the network. It sound like "no big deal, just add an option" when you just say the words, but do you really understand the implications? Centralization? Security? Performance? Complexity? Bugs? These algos are not proven, they are slow and a d bloated and it changes the dynamics of running nodes in major ways.
Here's a post I did a month ago with a brief rundown of some of the impacts it would have on the network.
On the quantum upgrade part I’m too retarded to understand any of that.
What I do understand and agree with is that the actual quantum computer required for this is near on impossible. I worked that out by riffing with Grok for a couple of hours.
But, near on impossible isn’t impossible so optionality is going to be required going forward
Saying that it is possible is an unproven and unfalsifiable claim. Everyone involved in running the QC circus has huge incentives.
- There are strong reasons to believe that it is NOT possible.
- There are strong reasons to believe that, if it is possible, it may be very far in the future.
- There are strong reasons to believe the people raising the alarm are either being fooled or have strong incentives to raise a false alarm.
- Doing anything about it seriously damages Bitcoin and freedom tech in general
- If they ever actually do crack the first key, we will have plenty of time to adapt before meaningful QC threat is economically viable
- FUD also hurts Bitcoin and freedom tech
Conclusion: Do not touch the code, just shut down FUD to protect freedom
We fight battles like this over and over.
It’s in the same realm as travelling outside the milkyway.
Also, the same as a 51% attack is possible but not economically viable a once off quantum attack is also not economically viable.
Exactly. Anybody can make these kinds of unfalsifiable claims and collect infinite money if they get a hype bubble going
