Bitcoin's Quantum-Safe Protection Gets 82% Cheaper as Researchers Race to Secure 6 Million Exposed BTC

Bitcoin's Quantum-Safe Emergency Plan Just Got 82% Cheaper

Researchers cut the estimated GPU cost of preparing a quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction from about $320 to $59, but the fallback still has major limits.

Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Compute Estimate Falls 82% to $59 as Reach Stays Limited

The simulated estimate excludes transaction fees, while QSB transactions remain nonstandard and generally require direct miner submission.

Cheaper GPU computation supports specially prepared QSB spends, while conventional funding signatures and direct miner access limit practical use.
