I'm sure bitcoin can agree on a path forward, write and test a series of updates, soft fork them in, and fully migrate 50m addresses in 3 years. Especially with how proactive the core devs are being

I would bet against Q day by 2030, but I wouldn't bet against it at 10:1 odds. ~10% risk is unacceptably high here, so I'm very in favor of transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography by 2029: https://blog.google/... Yes this means I 90% expect to be made fun of in 2030. Oh well.

Building for the future means preparing for the quantum era today. Our security teams have just introduced our 2029 timeline for PQC migration, warning that quantum computers could break standard encryption much sooner than many previously expected. Learn more in @ArsTechnica.

Google just shifted PQC migration goal to 2029. Others likely to follow given projected advances of quantum computing capability toward a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC). https://blog.google/... Will we see a CRQC by 2029? Most likely not, but to be safe

Google updates their quantum migration deadline to 2029: “Google's introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration. Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. …

1) This is a good goal — 2) In the current climate, I would bet a thousand dollars their plan is to get this all done fast “with agents doing the code updates!” which will result in another new class of security holes inserted into previously secure code.
