seriously, how did the idea of not shielding pubkeys make enough sense to get into the consensus tho? satoshi didn't even propose it. segwit didn't propose it. but everyone is so fatigued at this point by the "we gotta fix this" nonsense that they let taproot go through with naked fucking shor algorithm vulnerable fucking schnorr pubkeys.

seriously, there is no logic to it. the whole threat of quantum computers has been understood by anyone who actually looked into it as being irrelevant if you never reuse an address (pubkey shielded by quantum invulnerable hash function).

and the fact that andy back on the island and his company were so big on pushing that, it is pure naivete to not notice how they wedged that vulnerability into it.

i personally think that nothing that has been added to the protocol helped. the right answer in segwit days was schnorr signatures and schnorr pubkeys. that didn't happen, instead we got naked schnorr pubkeys and schnorr signatures.

here's the fun part tho. if you hold your cold sats in segwit none of this applies. which is why almost nobody has adopted taproot.
