Coinbase's Plan for a Quantum-Safe Bitcoin

New addresses, new signatures and a plan for coins that never move: here's what Coinbase thinks Bitcoin needs. Yesterday, Brian Armstrong shared Coinbase's latest thinking on preparing Bitcoin for quantum computers. It's the newest step in a push that started in January, when Coinbase established an independent quantum advisory board featuring researchers like Scott Aaronson, Dan Boneh, and Justin Drake. In July, it also joined BlackRock, Fidelity, Strategy, and others in launching the Bitcoin Security Consortium , which pledged $15 million over three years toward Bitcoin security research.
