the actual proposal directly addresses this with an auction/bidding mechanism. I just didn't take the time to understand that because it seemed quite complicated.

I think that's the open question... to what extent will the risk of a mine actually deter stealing?

I imagine people will still go for the Satoshi coins because even if the risk of a landmine is high elsewhere, most people probably just assume Satoshi isn't active anymore

That's a good point, but I still think it means this proposal is weaker than the it otherwise sounds: I think most of the people who will benefit from this proposal are also people who would be able to take some action to quantum proof their coins before qday.
