A few months ago I cautioned against hastily moving Bitcoin to PQ signatures, lest we introduce a vulnerability to classical attacks. Now we have to worry about AI finding them too. ➡️ Hastily changing from ECDSA/Schnorr to PQ signatures may make Bitcoin vulnerable to classical computing attacks today. Simply put: make Bitcoin safe against quantum computers just to get pwned by normal computers. The time to change to PQ signatures is when there's a clear threat (QCs exist), not before. Slow, steady, conservative development for Bitcoin. The work @n1ckler and @Blockstream do is so underappreciated by Bitcoiners. Their hash-based schemes like SHRINCS (already deployed on @Liquid_BTC via Simplicity) and SHRIMPS have a smaller mathematical attack surface than lattice-based alternatives like HAWK.
