Also: I feel that existing deployments on other systems are a bit different, where the stakes are not as high. Also: 'extra coins'? You're talking about stealing, not extra coins, right? (Academic? Maybe, but if we had done confidential transactions, would be v. different!)

Yea, sorry, stolen coins, most of which were probably lost. I agree research is good, but it does seem like “hash-based sigs in tapscript” is the one thing that we can do that isn’t dependent on some future post-quantum cryptography breakthrough. There’s some parameter tuning to do in picking such a sig format, but nothing wild.
