Bitcoin developer proposes "quantum landmines" to deter future quantum computer thefts by risking attackers' own BTC.

Bitcoin Core developer Cory Fields proposed a system called "quantum landmines" to protect wallets vulnerable to quantum computer attacks by requiring anyone spending such Bitcoin to post collateral equal to the coins' value. This collateral could be claimed by original owners who had prepared proof of ownership, discouraging theft by making attackers risk losing their own funds. Fields also suggested auction mechanisms for dormant wallets whose owners may have lost keys, aiming to make theft less attractive. The proposal is theoretical and would need new quantum-safe Bitcoin outputs and consensus rules before implementation.

Bitcoin developer Cory Fields' quantum landmines proposal is context for readers. For those following the crypto market, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Nov 06, 2026 15:01 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 4 rose and 45 fell.
