Fail to steal a coin, and you might even lose one of your own? This anti-theft idea is pretty ruthless.
Bitcoin developer Cory Fields has proposed an idea called a “quantum mine”: in the future, anyone trying to use a quantum computer to steal 1 bitcoin would first have to stake 1 bitcoin of their own. If the owner had prepared proof in advance, they could potentially reclaim their coins during the waiting period—and take the attacker’s stake too.
But this is still just an idea. It hasn’t been implemented, and the accompanying rules haven’t been fully worked out. What’s more, under this design, even normally transferring these old coins would require a stake. The counterattack sounds satisfying, but there are still plenty of hurdles before it could become reality.
