Say @Google builds the first quantum computer capable of cracking exposed ECDSA wallets.
Can there be a pathway for legitimate owners to prove ownership and pay to get their funds recovered?
(My lost wallet is highly provably mine)
Perhaps crypto leaders @drakefjustin@VitalikButerin can help push for something like this?
I (and others) could submit now, giving time for disputes and maybe in 5 - 10 years I get my life back…
Surely something like this is better than gifting to criminals?
Ethereum Foundation has a Post-Quantum team actively preparing Ethereum for post-quantum
Strawmap is the Ethereum roadmap for the next 7 upgrades and includes post-quantum
EIP8141 Frame transaction is Considered for Inclusion in the Hegotá upgrade. It provides native account abstraction & enables us to move to post-quantum signatures.
Im assuming there is no quantum emergency, the migration happens, everything is updated and Q Day comes after… listening to Justin Drake on Bankless recently, he seems to believe the most likely scenario for lost wallets unable to migrate will be that they are essentially left up for grabs as just a natural part of history…
But I think we can do better than leaving known wallets to go to theivs…
