Avihu Levy's
Quantum-Safe Bitcoin method on Aug. 26, according to StarkWare.
Bitcoin mainnet confirmed the first QSB transaction without modifying consensus rules or a soft fork.
QSB replaces elliptic-curve security assumptions with hash-based protections designed to withstand attacks using Shor's algorithm.
Generating each QSB spend requires approximately $75-$150 in off-chain cloud
GPU computation before broadcast occurs.
Nonstandard QSB transactions bypass ordinary mempool relay and require direct submission to a participating miner.
QSB protects legacy outputs but does not secure Taproot, Lightning channels or previously exposed keys.#NVIDIAEarnings #CandyDrop1BTCForOldUsers #EventContracts1%Reward #SKHynixSurgesOver5% #GateStockInsightsChallenge $BTC
