I don't see why old coins should be confiscated. The better option is to=20
let those with quantum computers free up old coins. While this might have=
=20
an inflationary impact on bitcoin's price, to use a turn of phrase, the=20
inflation is transitory. Those with low time preference should support=20
returning lost coins to circulation.
Also, I don't see the urgency, considering the majority of coins are in=20
either P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH, and P2WSH addresses. If PQC signatures aren't=
=20
added, such as with BIP-360, there will be some concern around long=20
exposure attacks on P2TR coins. For large amounts, it would be smart to=20
modify wallets to support broadcasting transactions to private mempool=20
services such as Slipstream, to mitigate short exposure attacks. Those will=
=20
also be rarer early on since a CRQC capable of a long exposure attack is=20
much simpler than one capable of pulling off a short exposure attack=20
against a transaction in the mempool.
Bitcoin's Q-day likely won't be sudden and obvious. It will also take time=
=20
to coordinate a soft fork activation. This shouldn't be rushed.
In the interest of transparency, it's worth mentioning that I'm working on=
=20
a BIP-360 implementation for Anduro. Both Anduro and Slipstream are MARA=20
services.

I don't see why old coins should be confiscated. The better option is to le=
t those with quantum computers free up old coins. While this might have an =
inflationary impact on bitcoin's price, to use a turn of phrase, the inflat=
ion is transitory. Those with low time preference should support returning =
lost coins to circulation.<div><br /></div><div>Also, I don't see the urgen=
cy, considering the majority of coins are in either P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH, an=
d P2WSH addresses. If PQC signatures aren't added, such as with BIP-360, th=
ere will be some concern around long exposure attacks on P2TR coins. For la=
rge amounts, it would be smart to modify wallets to support broadcasting tr=
ansactions to private mempool services such as Slipstream, to mitigate shor=
t exposure attacks. Those will also be rarer early on since a CRQC capable =
of a long exposure attack is much simpler than one capable of pulling off a=
short exposure attack against a transaction in the mempool.</div><div><br =

In my opinion, where parts of this proposal make sense is in a quantum<br>
emergency in which an adversary is actively extracting private keys<br>

decisively. In that case, we might as well consider funds to be lost<br>

>>> Dear Bitcoin Developers,<br>
>>><br>
>>> I am writing to share my proposal for a new Bitcoin Improvemen=
t Proposal (BIP) titled Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP=
). The goal of this proposal is to safeguard Bitcoin against potential futu=
re quantum attacks by enforcing a mandatory migration period for funds held=
in legacy Bitcoin addresses (secured by ECDSA) to quantum-resistant addres=
ses.<br>
>>><br>
>>> The proposal outlines:<br>
>>><br>
>>> Reducing Vulnerabilities: Transitioning funds to quantum-resis=
tant schemes preemptively to eliminate the risk posed by quantum attacks on=
exposed public keys.<br>
>>> Enforcing Timelines: A hard migration deadline that forces tim=
ely action, rather than relying on a gradual, voluntary migration that migh=
t leave many users at risk.<br>
>>> Balancing Risks: Weighing the non-trivial risk of funds being =
permanently locked against the potential catastrophic impact of a quantum a=
ttack on Bitcoin=E2=80=99s security.<br>
>>><br>
>>> Additionally, the proposal addresses common criticisms such as=
the risk of permanent fund loss, uncertain quantum timelines, and the pote=
ntial for chain splits. It also details backwards compatibility measures, c=
omprehensive security considerations, an extensive suite of test cases, and=
a reference implementation plan that includes script interpreter changes, =
wallet software updates, and network monitoring tools.<br>
