Steal Bitcoin, Lose Your Own BTC? Developer Floats Three Defenses Against Quantum Attacks
🛡️ A Bitcoin developer proposes strategies to deter quantum attackers from stealing BTC, suggesting financial incentives and time-locks to protect vulnerable coins.
💰 The "Quantum Landmines" concept would require attackers to collateralize their stolen coins with their own quantum-safe BTC, while the "Staked Auction" allows users to stake coins in advance to bid on vulnerable outputs.
🔍 Despite concerns about quantum threats, some analysts argue that the potential impact on Bitcoin's market stability may be overstated, indicating a divide in opinions on the urgency of these defenses.
