New Bitcoin Quantum Proposal Gives Satoshi a Silent Ownership Path A new Bitcoin quantum proposal is trying to solve a nasty future problem before it becomes a full-blown disaster: how do dormant holders prove ownership of old coins without exposing themselves onchain to tomorrow’s quantum attackers? Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson has floated Provable Address-Control Timestamps […]

New PACTs idea could help early Bitcoin holders prepare for a quantum future Bitcoin’s cryptography is built like a fortress, but quantum computing is the one theoretical wrecking ball that keeps people up at night. A new PACTs proposal aims to give early Bitcoin holders a cleaner way to prepare for that risk without forcing […]

Bitcoin’s long-term security challenge may not be regulators, block size drama, or the latest altcoin circus — it could be quantum computing. A proposal called PACTs is being pitched as a way to harden Bitcoin before future quantum machines can start chewing through the cryptography that protects coin ownership. PACTs are aimed at defending Bitcoin […]
