Breaking: The potential quantum threat has sparked a new defense plan for #Bitcoin.



Theoretically, a very powerful quantum computer could steal hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin if it can break the encryption used in public keys.

The problem is that “spending expiration” from addresses whose public key has been revealed could put dormant coin owners—including Satoshi Nakamoto—at a crossroads: move the funds or risk losing them.

But Dan Robinson has proposed an alternative solution.
The idea of PACTs (Provable Address-Control Timestamps) is to enable Bitcoin owners to prove control over their keys privately using zero-knowledge proofs, without needing to move the coins.

It’s enough for the user to prove they knew their key before any potential “quantum breach,” silently and effectively.

Later, the update could allow for recovering or protecting funds by verifying these timestamps.

The goal of this approach is to maintain security and privacy while buying time before any controversial protocol decision is made.

What do you think of this idea?
