Blockstream Research: Hash-based signature schemes offer a promising post-quantum alternative for Bitcoin, as their security relies solely on hash function assumptions similar to those already underpi...
Blockstream research has put out some amazing stuff.
Love that this could potentially keep current security assumptions and functionality alive.
Other proposals involving moving to a new relatively untested crypto that breaks HD wallets and multisig is not a serious proposal unless a sufficiently powerful and error corrected quantum computer has provably emerged. We can’t break bitcoin to “save” it.
