Hi all,
I'd like to share a draft Informational BIP as an alternative framework to BIP-361's proposed coin freeze.
The core argument: rather than suspending Bitcoin's neutrality to prevent quantum theft, we can structure the inevitable quantum capture of exposed coins as a self-financing prize mechanism — the largest open technological prize in history.
The proposal introduces three components:
- Genesis Quantum Transaction (GQT): recognition of a successful spend from a quantum-exposed address
- Quantum Vault (QV): automatically receives 90% of captured funds, distributes periodically to proven quantum actors synchronized with the halving cycle
- Quantum Proof Address (QPA): the on-chain identity of any actor who demonstrates quantum capture capability, forming a public, unfalsifiable register of global quantum capabilities
The capturing actor receives 10% immediately as a First Reward, with ongoing distributions from the Vault — creating long-term alignment with ecosystem stability rather than incentivizing immediate liquidation.
Draft: https://github.com/amonmoce/Hunting-The-Bitcoin-One-Piece/blob/master/bip-hunting-the-bitcoin-one-piece.md
Looking forward to technical and philosophical feedback.
Best,
Amon
