𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐩‑𝟑𝟔𝟏 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 #bitcoin developers proposed bip361 to freeze #wallets vulnerable to #quantum attacks. the proposal would identify 34% of bitcoin's supply with exposed public keys, block transfers and impose a 160,000-block delay before enforcement. project eleven created a recovery tool letting owners prove ownership without revealing keys, it runs in 243 milliseconds on laptops. however, bip361 remains controversial. no activation schedule exists, and the plan would force exchanges and holders to migrate vulnerable keys over years. critically, pre-2012 wallets like satoshi's 1.1 million bitcoin:native would become unrecoverable - raising fairness concerns and governance battles that could splinter bitcoin's consensus. this proposal is dangerous authoritarianism disguised as protection. forcing coin freezes violates bitcoin's core principle: code-is-law immutability. better solutions exist through voluntary upgrades and education, not unilateral seizures that punish long-term holders and miners. #VrReports
