A new idea from Bitcoin Core developer Cory Fields could make stealing Bitcoin much more dangerous for quantum hackers.

He calls it "Quantum Landmines."

The idea is simple. Bitcoin owners could hide special protections in their coins. If a quantum hacker tries to steal them, the owner could recover their Bitcoin and even claim the attacker's extra Bitcoin used as collateral.

I think this is a clever approach. Instead of only trying to stop future attacks, Bitcoin could make stealing coins financially costly for attackers.

It's still an experimental idea, not an approved Bitcoin upgrade. But I believe discussions like this are important for Bitcoin's long-term security.

The real challenge is turning this idea into something that works without creating new problems for honest Bitcoin holders.
