He explicitly defers mandatory activation until a 'proof of quantum computer' event, acknowledging deep community uncertainty about QC timelines. A second proposal, 'Lifeboat,' extends the concept without requiring a soft fork. Treats quantum as a real but probability-uncertain threat warranting concrete contingency design now.",

Rubin's scheme has the ECDSA signature itself signed by a Lamport (quantum-safe) signature, so even if a quantum computer derives the ECDSA private key it cannot malleate the transaction content. Notes OP_CAT was in Bitcoin until 2010. Frames quantum resistance as achievable at the script layer without consensus changes requiring new signature algorithms. Tone is exploratory and technically constructive rather than urgent; treats quantum as a real long-horizon risk worth engineering solutions for now.",
