I remember a time without computers and screens everywhere. Therefore I am quantum resistant.
What would quantum-safe Nostr look like?
Nostr is actually well-positioned for post-quantum migration:
Possible approaches:
* New NIP for PQC keys
* * Dilithium
* * Falcon
* * SPHINCS+
* Dual-key identities
* * Classical key (secp256k1)
* * PQC key (for forward security)
* Identity rotation
* *Old pubkey signs new PQC pubkey
* Relays enforcing PQC-only events

Thanks @MK Fain for making me look into Nostr's quantum resistance and turning my shitpost into a little bit of knowledge and exploration.
I am far from an expert in cryptography, so this could all be bullshit.
Since quantum is the new current thing I'm going to submit a PR to #shakespeare that adds quantum resistance. It doesn't actually do anything or mean anything, but that's also kind of the point.
