⚡️ By 2030, quantum computers will emerge that can compute private keys and steal crypto — Bitcoin developers propose a solution.

📣 Scientists predict that within 5 years, such powerful quantum factories will appear that it will be possible to compute the private key to crypto from the public key.

In this regard, several developers led by Jameson Lopp have submitted a draft BIP "Post-Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset" to GitHub. According to the plan:

1️⃣ Prohibit sending coins to wallets where the public key is immediately visible;

2️⃣ Completely freeze old wallets (around 2010) with such storage types, so that Bitcoin cannot be withdrawn from them;

3️⃣ Optionally — add a method to unlock such old wallets for real owners.

🤯 Approximately 25% of the total supply (total volume) $BTC lies in vulnerable wallets with an open public key.

If there are crypto magnates among our audience with billions of dollars in Bitcoin in old wallets — it is worth taking care of their security. In other cases — we don’t care. 😏
