Hi Amon,
I read your BIP draft, and personally I like the “One Piece” concept more
than freezing Bitcoin because of quantum theft risks. The idea is creative,
and theoretically it makes sense.
However, from a practical perspective, I am still concerned about the ~6.7M
BTC that could become quantum-exposed. The main issue is that we cannot
accurately predict how fast quantum computing will evolve in the future. If
quantum capabilities become much stronger than expected, the reward
mechanism could create massive incentives for attackers and potentially
harm Bitcoin’s long-term stability and value.
I do not think the idea is bad at all in fact, it is one of the more
interesting approaches to this problem. I just feel the risks may currently
be higher than we expect, which is why freezing vulnerable coins seems like
the safer option for now.
Of course, this is only my personal point of view. I may be missing some
cases or thinking differently from your perspective, so please do not take
my comments the wrong way. I appreciate the effort and creativity behind
the proposal, and maybe with further refinement the idea could become even
stronger.
Best regards,
Ronak
