      This cure is worse than the disease and far more complex. This is a fork, and I doubt the community wants to split the chain over this.

      What, a startup company wants to provide this? This is not how bitcoin development works.

      >while allowing governance to later decide whether to move, burn or **redistribute** the funds.

      Oh yeah this’ll go down great

      I hope they remember to add in a small % in there for their troubles

      So, if I’m getting this right, the pre-BIP32 wallets could be frozen and protected through a soft fork instead of forcing migrations?

      The craziest stat in this article is the claim that over $600B in crypto could be vulnerable because public keys are already exposed onchain. Like WTF?

      Arent his coins at the same risk as mine? Ie… this would unravel all of bitcoin

      Hypothetically, when someone cracks Satoshi’s wallet and makes the first transaction, how long will she have to spend all of it before BTC is worthless? 30 seconds give or take?
