Rushing quantum resistance for Bitcoin could backfire, warns Samson Mow

Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company Jan3, has warned that rushing to develop quantum resistance for Bitcoin could inadvertently increase security risks. According to Cointelegraph, Mow argued that a hasty implementation could lead to compatibility issues and reduced network efficiency. He noted that quantum-resistant signatures could be 10 to 125 times larger than existing ones, potentially reducing block capacity and throughput. Mow emphasized the need for a cautious approach, as preparing for quantum computing could introduce vulnerabilities into the current system.
