The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.
Eventually, Quantum computing is expected to change everything; older security protocols will fall to the wayside unless updated as the race continues between ...
Analysts say quantum computing concerns may be weighing on Bitcoin’s valuation versus gold, raising long-term questions.
Bitcoin is running out of time to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Upgrading too early or too late could have disastrous ...
Advances in quantum technology could theoretically break Bitcoin’s current cryptography, exposing vulnerable wallets, especially older or dormant ones. Most developers believe there is still time ...
These dormant holdings, often called Nakamoto’s coins, have never been spent, and now, they are at the center of a growing debate, which isn’t just about influence but also about a potential future ...
Proposed BIP-360 introduces P2MR to protect Bitcoin from quantum attacks, securing long-term value by removing public key exposure.
Cryptocurrency wallet makers and security companies are pushing out post-quantum products even though large-scale quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin do not exist yet. The US National ...
In the quest to prepare the Bitcoin ecosystem to handle future quantum computing threats, Bitcoin developers have officially submitted BIP-360 into the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal repository. This ...
At ETH Denver, developers warned that advances in quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin’s digital signatures as the industry continues to debate how to prepare.
BIP-360 co-author Ethan Heilman says that making Bitcoin quantum-secure could take 7 years. Recent breakthroughs suggest time is running out.
