Topic: Quantum Computer Proofing (one suggested approach using hash chians) (Read 210 times)

I think using hash commitments and reveal-schemes instead of digital signatures has been discussed in the past. For instance, http://www.jbonneau.com/doc/BM14-SPW-fawkescoin.pdf describes an entire cryptocurrency that is based on this idea. I don't know how practical it would be to use such a scheme to make Bitcoin QC resistant, as opposed to things like Lamport signatures, though.

and then this: https://ciyam.org/qc_proofing.txt
It could probably be improved but is just a starting point to make sure that we will be able to make Bitcoin QC proof well ahead of any real threat of people losing funds (which I have no idea how far away is).
