DUMMIES GUIDE TO BEING QUANTUM SAFE. In the past it was about protecting your PRIVATE KEY (your seed phrase). In the age of big scary quantum computers (BSQC) that are coming, you need to protect your PUBLIC KEY also. Basically a BSQC can figure out your private key from a public key. The present day taproot addresses (the latest format) are NOT safe, these are addresses starting with "bc1p" and they embed the public key into the address, not good. Prior formats hide the public key behind a hash, so a BSQC can't easily crack it. Do this: 1) create a new segwit wallet. It will start with "bc1q" (NOT "bc1p"), you can use older formats too like ones starting with "1" and "3" 2) send all your BTC into this new address 3) you can continue to stack sats into this new address 4) NEVER send BTC out of it, once you do you're BSQC hackable because your public key is revealed 5) wait for Bitcoin to upgrade to a quantum safe protocol, this may take 7 years, who knows 6) send your BTC into the new quantum safe address when the network is NOT congested, once you send, you reveal the private key for a short time. It's unlikely a BSQC will steal your coins in that short window(Willy Woo)
