Thanks @Jameson Lopp for moving the post quantum btc discussion forward. Better we start planning sooner rather than later.

The zkp seed phrase thingy is a bit handwavy. Saving room for another BIP?

Gostei do bip, como a criação de mnemonicos não é determinista, ou seja, não é possível fazer o caminho inverso, obter os mnemonicos a partir da chave privada. Achei a ideia genial, bloquear os saldos com chave pública exposta, podendo serem gastos apenas com a prova ZK, provando que tem o mnemonico e não somente a chave privada... Prova ZK inclusive seria uma excelente forma de prevenir a qualquer ataque não somente quântico, mas qualquer ataque que obtenha a sua chave privada so poderia gastar se provar que tem o mnemonico que gera aquela chave... Solução genial!

Why the forced sunset? Isn’t that coercive?

Yes, needs R&D because there are a variety of possibilities.

Because humans are procrastinators when they aren't given a concrete deadline.

I don't know how to do a bip, but I have an idea for an update to how mining works and would love it if you could take a look. View quoted note →

I'm no expert on QC but a recent paper by a respected cryptographer is pretty damning of the research being touted. The demonstrations of QC behind the concerns about the threats your BIP seeks to address appear to be fraudulent. Seem very likely we are being scammed about QC. I wrote a summary of the paper and link to it if you care to read the paper.
