Paradigm researcher proposes a timestamp escape mechanism to protect early Bitcoin from quantum computing threats

Odaily reported that Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Proof of Address Control with Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant Bitcoin, including early Satoshi addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.

This mechanism allows users to prove their control over an address with a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. If quantum attacks occur in the future, assets can be recovered using this proof in a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network.

Compared to mandatory migration schemes such as BIP-361, PACT avoids privacy exposure risks associated with actively transferring assets, offering long-term holders a more flexible preventive approach.

To prevent liquidity support from being seen as QE, Federal Reserve's Logan proposes separate accounting for market functioning bond purchases and accelerated sales.

Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan stated that the Federal Reserve should completely separate market-functionality bond purchases from monetary policy operations, record them independently, and commit to selling them as soon as possible in order to dispel market concerns over the Fed potentially suppressing long-term yields. She emphasized that a full understanding of the Fed’s decision-making logic by the market itself has a stabilizing effect.
