That makes sense. I'll definitely be following it, and if you all produce reports/info/podcasts/newsletters in a similar vein to Optech, I am quite sure it will be a big benefit to the Bitcoin community.

I think the tensions around quantum are present regardless of the existence of this Consortium. My hope is the Consortium keeps the dialog more in the open and less opaque than a world without the Consortium where things are just happening behind the scenes with secret new dev teams, etc.

I'm happy to hear you are involved with this. I will admit that I'm not too excited about institutional money pushing for a quantum resistant fork. One of my fears is that quantum cryptography being newer and less battle tested will expose us to a pretty big attack surface. I'm worried institutional weight will prioritize a timely solution over a solid solution.

How do you think about resisting pressure the consortium might receive to act quickly?
