Bitcoin Devs Float Proposal to Freeze Quantum-Vulnerable Addresses — Even Satoshi Nakamoto's
A new Bitcoin draft proposal wants to do what's long been unthinkable: Freeze coins secured by legacy cryptography — including those in Satoshi Nakamoto's wallets — before quantum computers can crack them. That's according to a new draft proposal co-authored by Jameson Lopp and other crypto security researchers, which introduces a phased soft fork that turns quantum migration into a ticking clock. Fail to upgrade, and your coins become unspendable. That includes the roughly 1.1 million BTC tied to early pay-to-pubkey addresses, like those of Satoshi's and other early miners. 'This proposal is radically different from any in Bitcoin's history just as the threat posed by quantum computing is radically different from any other threat in Bitcoin's history,' the authors explained as a motivation for the proposal. 'Never before has Bitcoin faced an existential threat to its cryptographic primitives.' 'A successful quantum attack on Bitcoin would result in significant economic disruption and damage across the entire ecosystem. Beyond its impact on price, the ability of miners to provide network security may be significantly impacted,' they added. The draft BIP outlined three phases: Phase A: Banning sending funds to legacy ECDSA/Schnorr addresses, nudging users toward quantum-resistant formats like P2QRH. (Starts 3 years after BIP-360 implementation) Phase B: Make all legacy signatures invalid at the consensus layer. Coins in quantum-vulnerable addresses become permanently frozen. (Kicks in 2 years after Phase A) Phase C (optional): Introduce a recovery path for stuck coins using zero-knowledge proof of BIP-39 seed possession. This could be a hard or soft fork. But Why Now? Bitcoin's cryptography has never faced an existential threat and still doesn't, except pre-emptive ones that can possibly target early wallets. Researchers say quantum computers capable of breaking ECDSA may arrive as soon as 2027. A May report by CoinDesk flagged a new study suggesting that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains vulnerable to quantum attacks similar to those threatening RSA. Current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking these encryption methods, but research is rapidly advancing. Earlier in July, eight legacy Bitcoin wallets moved over $8.5 billion worth of 'Satoshi-era' bitcoin after 15 years of dormancy — sparking speculation, among some, about moving to wallets with improved security as That's the red line for Lopp and the team. Around 25% of all bitcoin have exposed their public keys, meaning they're vulnerable to a 'Q-day' style attack. If attackers are patient, they could use quantum tools to quietly drain dormant wallets over time without tripping alarms. 'Quantum attackers could compute the private key for known public keys then transfer all funds weeks or months later, in a covert bleed to not alert chain watchers,' the draft proposal stated. 'Q-Day may be only known much later if the attack withholds broadcasting transactions in order to postpone revealing their capabilities.' The proposal is still in draft stage and has no BIP number yet. And it may be the only way Bitcoin survives a quantum in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Trainee specialists to receive full allowance
PETALING JAYA: Doctors undergoing supervised work experience (SWE) following their specialist training will now be entitled to full specialist allowances under a new incentive introduced by the Health Ministry. The ministry announced in a statement that the rollout of the Pre-Gazette Specialist Incentive Payment (BIPPW), which ensures that doctors performing specialist-level duties during the mandatory SWE period receive the same financial incentives as fully gazetted specialists. This initiative is in line with the Medical (Amendment) Act 2024, which came into effect on July 1. The BIPPW will be granted immediately upon a doctor's entry into SWE, a transitional stage after completing specialist training, during which they are supervised by senior specialists to assess their clinical competence. The incentive mirrors the existing Specialist Incentive Payment (BIP), offering rates between RM1,900 and RM2,800, depending on the officer's grade (UD/UG10 to UD/UG14). Previously, under the old gazettement process, medical officers only became eligible for BIP after being formally registered as specialists. The restructured framework now streamlines this transition, offering uninterrupted financial recognition for those already working at a specialist level. The ministry said the incentive reflects its commitment to safeguarding the welfare of public healthcare professionals and ensuring continuity in patient care. It also noted that the new legal framework helps address longstanding issues related to specialist recognition and registration under the National Specialist Register (NSR), particularly in fields such as cardiothoracic surgery, family medicine, plastic surgery and general pathology. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Medical Association's Section Concerning House Officers, Medical Officers and Specialists (MMA Schomos) welcomed the announcement, saying it alleviated concerns that existing specialist allowances might be reduced under the revised gazettement process. 'We take note of the assurance that the specialist allowance will not be reduced in any way under the new NSR-SWE-gazettement model, but is now rebranded as the BIPPW. We are thankful,' the group said in a Facebook post. MMA Schomos also renewed its call for the introduction of a dedicated allowance for subspecialists, stressing the importance of fairly rewarding and retaining highly-trained professionals in advanced medical fields.

NSDC removing impediments to sugar production in Nigeria — Bakrin
The Executive Secretary/CEO of the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC), Mr. Kamar Bakrin, has briefed critical stakeholders on the progress made by the council in addressing impediments to improved local sugar production in Nigeria. Speaking at a tripartite meeting of the agency, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and investment and the major BIP operators, the NSDC boss said the Council has elevated performance monitoring and oversight of the Backward Integration Programme (BIP) operators beyond what the Sugar Industry Monitoring Group (SIMOG) used to do. According to him, NSDC under his watch has emphasised robust, one-on-one, physical and virtual engagement with the operators, giving them targets and following up on deliverables. Bakrin said 'the operators have complained about the existing loopholes in the free trade zone regime, which they believe certain participants in the NSMP have exploited. 'They also cited delays in the clearing of equipment at the ports, smuggling of sugar into the country, host community resistance to the expansion of their BIP programmes as the primary causes of the delays in their BIP execution.' 'The loopholes in the FTZ regime are being addressed by the ongoing amendment of the NSDC Act by the National Assembly.' He explained that the amendment process involves engagement with the relevant National Assembly Committee, and key stakeholders among other objectives to address the concern of the BIP operators and also make the industry more attractive to other investors. 'The delays in the clearing of equipment at the ports is something that is also being addressed with the Nigeria Customs Service. On the issue of smuggling, the volumes do not significantly alter the economics of sugar production and the market dynamics. But regardless, we have engaged the relevant security agencies on the matter. 'In terms of host community resistance, the council consistently intervenes and has actually driven the resolution of these grievances, especially the more significant ones that have been experienced in places like Numan in Adamawa State, and this has been resolved. 'At the moment, there is currently no backward integration programme in which the host community has restricted access to a significant proportion of land in the country,' he added. The Executive Secretary also informed the gathering that as a Council, the NSDC is working on getting comprehensive financing support to aid the development of the industry and in addition to help the existing operators lower the cost of irrigation. 'One of the things we need to do is aggressive pushing of a sugar sector development fund, as well as securing the kind of guarantees that will allow the cost of borrowing to come down. 'Also, to possibly extend whatever support we can provide around the issues of irrigation facilities, not necessarily as grants, but just to lower the overall cost of irrigation infrastructure.' Emphasising the need for severe sanctions for underperformance, Mr. Bakrin said: 'We believe that the two critical things that must happen is that the operators must act immediately to stop the deterioration in the output of their current operations, especially around the issues of agronomic and factory practices, which are clearly below global norms and standards. 'They must also actively expand their existing brownfield operations. In addition, we believe that without going into the specifics of individual companies for confidential reasons, the operators need to, as a matter of urgency, take a much more aggressive approach to expanding their BIP programmes to ensure that they are able to deliver on the NSMP targets. 'We believe that basic improvements in agronomics and factory practices can take annual raw sugar production to 200,000 metric tonnes in the short term even from the current land planted with sugarcane,' he noted. The NSDC boss argued that while the business of importation of raw sugar and refining at the existing facilities owned by the major operators may seem profitable on the surface, the more challenging work of actually growing sugar cane and processing it in Nigeria is ultimately more sustainable and rewarding for the operators and the country at large.
