we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at [email protected], over a period of about 1 hour. in each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (the failure point was when we did a get request to your specified callback url: http...

It seems to me that you could prove a hardened derivation or a BIP-39 derivation. Unfortunately this reveals your secret key, so you need to either use a (quantum resistant!) ZKP, or a two-stage revea...

We could introduce a way to commit a PQ public key as a companion for a sec256k public key, without revealing the latter. A (later) soft fork could enforce that each sec256k signature must be paired with a PQ signature if such a commitment is there.

Both the commitment as well the PQ signature could go into a newly introduced section of the blockchain (like the witness) and get discounted to be on par with sec256k signatures. This way the tx rate would not be negatively affected.

Nic Carter has an idea toward that end, I'm not sure it he ever wrote it up. Basically tax unused utxos after some time to keep the mining rewards higher for longer. The complexity and push against ta...

Requiring a percentage of old coins to be spent as fee will not work. People who are able to build a quantum computer can also spend a few more bucks to buy miners and mine the block containing the transaction themselves, without broadcasting it before.

I spoke at a big bitcoin-adjacent company this week and one of the best questions was from someone who asked what the downsides of bitcoin adoption might be. I always do appreciate these steelman que...

One downside to widespread adaptation would be the cluster risk we have against the cryptographic algorithms used in bitcoin. While there is widespread belief today that they are secure, each algorithm only has a limited lifetime. If people misjudge this or cannot change them in time due to ossification, the world runs the risk that its financial system breaks down abruptly.

also, production of efficient mining hardware could be a single point of failure. Only some problems can be caught by nodes. A backdoor could be used to cause all miners to reject transactions with an ip from a targeted country.
