Bitcoin Core developer Cory Fields proposed a new idea called "quantum landmines" to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computer attacks. The concept requires attackers to post collateral in quantum-safe wallets before attempting to steal coins, risking their own funds if caught. This approach adds an economic deterrent to the ongoing challenge of securing Bitcoin against quantum threats, complementing existing migration efforts. The proposal is still in discussion and would require a soft fork and new wallet infrastructure to be implemented.
Cory Fields' proposal of quantum landmines to deter Bitcoin theft comes as the broader cryptocurrency market shows significant declines.
