UNDER THE HOOD: How can $BTC defend against a future quantum attack? Instead of pre-emptively freezing old coins, a new proposal from @bitmexresearch suggests a more reactive approach. They've proposed a "canary" system: a special address that no one can access without a quantum computer. If funds from this address are ever moved, it acts as on-chain proof that the threat is real, triggering a defensive freeze. To incentivize a reveal, the plan includes a "canary fund"—a bounty that would reward the first quantum computer owner for showing their hand instead of attacking the network. https://t.co/sPedppMySS
