+I don't see why old coins should be confiscated. The better option is to=20
+let those with quantum computers free up old coins. While this might have=
+=20
+an inflationary impact on bitcoin's price, to use a turn of phrase, the=20
+inflation is transitory. Those with low time preference should support=20
+returning lost coins to circulation.
+
+Also, I don't see the urgency, considering the majority of coins are in=20
+either P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH, and P2WSH addresses. If PQC signatures aren't=
+=20
+added, such as with BIP-360, there will be some concern around long=20
+exposure attacks on P2TR coins. For large amounts, it would be smart to=20
+modify wallets to support broadcasting transactions to private mempool=20
+services such as Slipstream, to mitigate short exposure attacks. Those will=
+=20
+also be rarer early on since a CRQC capable of a long exposure attack is=20
+much simpler than one capable of pulling off a short exposure attack=20
+against a transaction in the mempool.
+
+Bitcoin's Q-day likely won't be sudden and obvious. It will also take time=
+=20
+to coordinate a soft fork activation. This shouldn't be rushed.
+
+In the interest of transparency, it's worth mentioning that I'm working on=
+=20
+a BIP-360 implementation for Anduro. Both Anduro and Slipstream are MARA=20
+services.

+&gt;&gt; Right off the bat I notice you are proposing that legacy funds bec=
+ome unspendable after a certain block height which immediately raises serio=
+us problems. A migration to quantum hard addresses in this manner would cau=
+se serious financial damage to anyone holding legacy funds, if I understand=
+ your proposal correctly.<br>

+&gt;&gt;&gt; Dear Bitcoin Developers,<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; I am writing to share my proposal for a new Bitcoin Improvemen=
+t Proposal (BIP) titled Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP=
+). The goal of this proposal is to safeguard Bitcoin against potential futu=
+re quantum attacks by enforcing a mandatory migration period for funds held=
+ in legacy Bitcoin addresses (secured by ECDSA) to quantum-resistant addres=
+ses.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; The proposal outlines:<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Reducing Vulnerabilities: Transitioning funds to quantum-resis=
+tant schemes preemptively to eliminate the risk posed by quantum attacks on=
+ exposed public keys.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Enforcing Timelines: A hard migration deadline that forces tim=
+ely action, rather than relying on a gradual, voluntary migration that migh=
+t leave many users at risk.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Balancing Risks: Weighing the non-trivial risk of funds being =
+permanently locked against the potential catastrophic impact of a quantum a=
+ttack on Bitcoin=E2=80=99s security.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Additionally, the proposal addresses common criticisms such as=
+ the risk of permanent fund loss, uncertain quantum timelines, and the pote=
+ntial for chain splits. It also details backwards compatibility measures, c=
+omprehensive security considerations, an extensive suite of test cases, and=
+ a reference implementation plan that includes script interpreter changes, =
+wallet software updates, and network monitoring tools.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; For your convenience, I have published the full proposal on my=
+ GitHub repository. You can review it at the following link:<br>

+on GitHub<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; I welcome your feedback and suggestions and look forward to en=
+gaging in a constructive discussion on how best to enhance the security and=
+ resilience of the Bitcoin network in the quantum computing era.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Thank you for your time and consideration.<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Best regards,<br>
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
