How quantum computing affects Bitcoiners, Part II
The second part of our summary of Chaincode Labs' excellent paper on Bitcoin and quantum resistance.
Migration strategies and the burn vs steal debate.
Bitcoins that are locked in addresses with publicly-revealed public keys are most vulnerable toSlimy Cattle 's article on quantum resistance:

Ideally, we come up with a way to make all coins safe from quantum attack
All quantum resistance proposals currently require that users send their coins to new, quantum resistant addresses
There are ~190 million UTXOs

Huge props to Clara Shik and deadmanoz for their work!
