Quantum proof cryptography saves Bitcoin after we move our coins to new addresses, but what does everyone do with their nostr profile/key? Does quantum kill nostr?

Good question.
Who can answer?

I would expect we would need to move to "quantum-proof" keys. Which would mean migrating our profiles to the new key-pair. We'd all be starting fresh again, most likely.
“Moving coins” to new addresses… that would be a hardfork.. it wouldn’t save Bitcoin
No, centralized quantum computing will not kill Bitcoin or nostr. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what quantum computing is and its limitations.
There’s no second best quantum computer. There’s a quantum computer and it’s called Bitcoin.
Everything else is a centralized attempt to solve something that requires decentralization; and they are trying to break something existence demands not be broken.
correct
Since when is bitcoin a quantum computer? Never heard that theory. Maybe way above what I understood of bitcoin.
afaik quantum computers aren't ready now or in a usable state but who knows. Or why is everybody talking about quantum resistant cryptography? Just marketing?
Does bitcoin resolve infinite potential (of a block configuration) into a single deterministic state by observation and the measurement (mining)? How is Bitcoin not a computed quantum state collapse?
Once you understand the energy and entropy; you realize what physicists claim a quantum computer will do is pure speculation rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of the forces they are trying to manipulate.
