One of the interesting parts of this coldcard hack is I actually think quantum risk is a lot more overblown

Effectively guessing private keys is already known. Every key in the universe is available for anyone to select. Quantum doesn’t change that unless you create a quantum algorithm that can scan the bitcoin blockchain looking to sweep keys. Far away from that capability even if quantum gets to a point it can “break” ecc.

Basically only risk vector is reversing a private key from a public key.

Segwit is completely secure if you don’t double spend. Maybe a few changes to how the mempool works and you’re good without needing a massive overhaul of “quantum proof” cryptography.

Someone smarter than me please poke holes in this logic

This was a little taste of what a quantum hack would feel like.

agreed, it’s a simulation of what that can look like. Fog of war panic and fud
