I have to agree that practical quantum-attacks are like fusion, human-level
AI, and nanotechnology =E2=80=94 always 20 years away. In addition, several
reported approaches to quantum-attack resistance have fallen, and more will
fall in the next =E2=80=9C20 years=E2=80=9D.

That being said, it is interesting research. Here is the best link about
this particular approach:

Blockchain Commons can=E2=80=99t offer to fully fund this research, but if =
others
do we=E2=80=99d be glad to contribute a small grant.
