Proposed Bitcoin Protocol Aims to Protect Against Quantum Computing Threats
A recently proposed Bitcoin protocol, known as Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP)-361, aims to defend against potential quantum computing threats by migrating coins to quantum-resistant addresses. If implemented, this could render non-compliant coins unusable. The proposal comes as a Google report warns that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could compromise the Bitcoin blockchain more eas…
