.Martin Shkreli on quantum computing, and why early Bitcoin addresses like Satoshi's are vulnerable: "Satoshi's keys are at risk. Binance and Coinbase's keys are not. They'll be ported in, most likely, to a quantum secure system."

The TL;DR of the quantum threat to Bitcoin is cracking Satoshi's coins. Charles Hoskinson told Adam Back that a hard fork still looks like the only solution. Pierre Rochard recently told me Satoshi's coins should be fair game for quantum computers. Adam Back says there's a chance that Satoshi's are migrated - and privacy advancements could make that happen without anyone noticing 🤯 Our full interview for The Block is in the comments 👇

CZ Suggests Freezing Satoshi's Bitcoin to Address Quantum Threats Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)CZ 🔶 BNB said in a June 18 interview with Galaxy that if Bitcoin forks in the future to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography, the community could give Satoshi-linked addresses holding about 1 million BTC a 6- to 12-month migration window. If the coins still do not move, the new protocol should freeze those addresses. CZ said that otherwise, the coins could eventually be claimed by the first person to crack the private keys with quantum computing. He acknowledged there is no perfect solution and said the final decision should be made by the community, potentially through miner signaling.

Nic Carter reveals a powerful enough quantum computer could steal Satoshi’s 1,000,000 Bitcoin in 6 blocks “There’s 35,000 addresses with 50 Bitcoin each, those are the Satoshi coins. The public keys are published, they’re on the ledger, they can’t be unpublished” “If you have a sufficiently good quantum computer, you can reverse engineer the private key from all those public keys… now you have a list of 35,000 private keys” “At a time of your choosing, you publish them all and 6 blocks later they’re all in your wallet. 1,000,000 coins”

Speaking of quantum-readiness... curious to get people's thoughts on Pieter Wuille's decision not to hash public keys in Taproot addresses (making them less quantum-secure, but maintaining other benefits). Thoughts here? Full episode in the comments.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio. This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 02:05 What is quantum computing? 04:30 How could quantum threaten your Bitcoin wallet? 06:50 Addresses that are safe from quantum 09:13 Satoshi’s coins are in danger! 11:25 What happens if Satoshi’s coins are touched? 14:45 Do we softfork to shield Satoshi’s coins? 16:38 “Transitory inflation” for bitcoin after quantum 21:05 Why Taproot addresses are vulnerable 23:50 Do NOT reuse your Bitcoin addresses! 26:03 When will Quantum become a threat? 28:34 The long/short exposure attack; explained 31:45 Protection using private mempools 33:20 Why all the new Bitcoin L2s are in danger 37:45 Quantum is 5 to 10 years away, governments fear 40:34 Non-Bitcoin systems threatened by quantum 42:26 Centralized systems can adapt to quantum 43:50 Hunter’s BIP: Post quantum cryptography in Bitcoin 47:40 Hunter’s three new signature algorithms 53:48 Is new cryptography on Bitcoin risky? 56:33 Why not just stick to hash-based cryptography? 58:49 A 16X discount for quantum resistant addresses? 01:02:30 Creating quantum resistant multisig addresses 01:04:00 What is Frost? 01:06:50 The long process of approving a BIP 01:08:30 What developers think of Hunter’s BIP 01:10:00 Matt Corallo’s concerns with Hunter’s approach 01:11:00 Steps to implementing the BIP 360 01:17:00 Where to learn more about BIP 360 01:17:50 Who can push the button to change Bitcoin?

1/ Starknet was built with quantum risk in mind from day one. STARKs are post-quantum resistant by nature. Native Account Abstraction makes wallets upgradeable by design. Post-quantum wallets are already possible on Starknet. And the remaining pieces require relatively little additional work from our side. In short, quantum computing is not a threat to Starknet’s future. If anything, it plays to Starknet’s strengths.
