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 underpinning Bitcoin’s design. We provide a comprehensive overview of these schemes, from basic primitives to SPHINCS+ and its variants, and investigate parameter selection tailored to Bitcoin’s specific requirements.

If Bitcoin is the empirical proof that time is quantized, then the entire formalism of quantum mechanics, thus quantum computing is falsified. We should not “upgrade” Bitcoin until that claim has been rightfully explored. Always be wary of the people who tell you Bitcoin is broken and they are ...

Yes please! We can't be complacent since quantum computing is an existential threat to cryptography, apparently.
