But we saved everything 🙂.
Marty Bent highlighted that discussions about P2PK addresses as potential quantum bounties were taking place as early as 2017.
In his tweet, Bent remarked on the surprising nature of this topic now being seen as a 'hot take', referencing his podcast recordings from 2017 that explicitly addressed the subject.
Bent has previously reported on the consensus among Bitcoin developers regarding ECDSA's potential vulnerability to quantum or non-quantum threats. He has also discussed ongoing Bitcoin community efforts focused on quantum readiness solutions. These earlier conversations add context to Bent’s recent comments about longstanding discussions on address security.
