Opinion: The proposal for Bitcoin quantum security should not be rushed; hasty upgrades may introduce the risk of computational attacks.

CoinFeed reported on April 5th that Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, stated in an article on the X platform that the current response to the threat of Bitcoin quantum computing (QC) should not be rushed. A hasty switch from the existing signature mechanism to a quantum-resistant (PQ) scheme could expose Bitcoin to classical computing attacks in the short term. PQ signatures could increase in size by 10 to 125 times, significantly reducing network throughput and potentially triggering a repeat of the scaling controversy surrounding the early "block wars." Furthermore, Samson Mow warned that some PQ schemes may have potential backdoor risks.
