Are we really discussing to freeze coins, seriously?! How dumb and shortsighted does someone have to be to even consider that. nostr:nevent1qqs257jndwhex9stk24025ffkanuk62vvrqltnk6twgj3nwqpgpampqpzpmh...

if it becomes painfully obvious that shor's algorithm will be able to steal from a type of vulnerable address in real life, I'd be okay with hourglassing that type of address. only 1 spend from vulnerable types of addresses per N blocks, enforced at the protocol level. but not before it is obvious. you would have years to migrate. bitcoin is simply not mature enough to be a set-it-and-forget-it store of value and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. but outright confiscation is beyond the pale for me.

Agree. If it's really possible to crack some certain address types I would be totally fine with a protocol change, yes. But "freezing" some address types now would wreck the unconfiscatability promise and would make the network basically useless, at least for me
