Alright fam, what are we doing about quantum?

The same thing we always do. Fighting about forks and mempool policy.
Definitely nothing and just talk about mempool policy for a few more years
Same thing I'm doing about the asteroid that's going to hit the earth

Personally, I'm not too worried about it right now. Every metric says that quantum computing's threat to encryption is at LEAST a decade away and a couple of the encrypted platforms that I use already implemented some form of post-quantum encryption or mitigations to resist quantum computing.
Using segwit and not reusing addresses
just vibing bro
Crossing fingers and goin on with life.
Quantum poses 0 risk to bitcoin
Don’t worry, by the time Quantum breaks ECDSA, we’ll be validating blocks via telepathy and paying for coffee in hashpower. Until then, I’m staying in my classical lane.
Go to the pub, having a pint, and waiting for this all to blow over.
Nothing. S'all good.
Moving all my money out of stocks and banks, bc those are all going to get obliterated by quantum long before Bitcoin.
lol 😂 perfect example… there is an asteroid out there…. Somewhere right now… eventually it will hit us.
Quantum will be a risk to Bitcoin some time after it hits
If quantum computing breaks #bitcoin we'll become credit card maxis.
That secret 3 digit number on the back of our cards will save us all.
I’ll see you at the Winchester.
The complacency, I attribute to the still to be addressed time-stamp issue in 2038.
The TODO list keeps growing. Perhaps we procrastinate for a bang all breakable issues at once.
Prior to quantum resistance cryptography, we need a disambiguation of BTC morals and make it explicit through code. Someone eventually will have the audacity (or be fed up) to spin up a node written in rust, which will be excellent marketing in itself for the inevitable hardfork time: mem safe and quantum resistant.
Can't be a Core-code fork, must be under a radically different banner than the current OP Wars. Coded from scratch and yet backwards compatible, to prove itself prior to such hardfork. Then we have runway, perhaps united, to tackle the quantum issue.
😂
Do you think 110 is about "mempool policy"? Genuinely curious
😂😂✌️
I thought we were still fighting spam?
I'm doing something about it while also not doing something about it.
that's a really super position to take on this important matter
What quantum?
All there has been so far are media articles and videos talking about it.
If there was a real threat, I'd be more worried about every computer system in the world, like banks and nuclear codes.
Wake me up in 20 years

There is no second best quantum computer.

Staking more sats
not ignoring it... but, also, not wasting cycles tyring to extrapolate an imagined future threat from what is now effectively still on zero.
The fact that they are only a decade away is still a horrifying concept to think about.
They can upgrade must faster because that is a management decision. BTC is a upgrade that is acceptable to the Bitcoin community. Much slower and messier process.
1. You’re wrong 6 ways to Sunday.
2. So you made a nostr account to convince people Bank of America is more secure than Bitcoin? 🫵😂
No, not more secure. They can make a decision on how and when they upgrade their cryptography faster than Bitcoin, which must start as a BIP.
Said another way, a centralized system with top down control can make changes faster than a decentralized system that advances based on broad acceptance by the network.
I don’t care how quickly they can make the wrong decision.
