$BTC - Cory Fields floats a "quantum trap" that would make theft attempts pay victims instead.
Fields, a Bitcoin Core developer, designed the mechanism to activate if quantum computers break current cryptography.
Attackers trying to steal funds would inadvertently send payments to the targeted addresses.
The proposal remains a research concept with no activation timeline or consensus support.
