Schroedinger -- 5d Agree. If it's really possible to crack some certain address types I would be totally fine with a protocol change, yes. But "freezing" some address types now would wreck the unconfiscatability promise and would make the network basically useless, at least for me replyAgree.

Are we really discussing to freeze coins, seriously?! How dumb and shortsighted does someone have to be to evenconsider that.nostr:nevent1qqs257jndwhex9stk24025ffkanuk62vvrqltnk6twgj3nwqpgpampqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygr8twz0ua0zz64eglr58rh9r898wafhdh0stkklhf3830gp9cwh9qxwtfen
if it becomes painfully obvious that shor's algorithm will be able to steal from a type of vulnerable address inreal life, I'd be okay with hourglassing that type of address. only 1 spend from vulnerable types of addressesper N blocks, enforced at the protocol level. but not before it is obvious. you would have years to migrate.bitcoin is simply not mature enough to be a set-it-and-forget-it store of value and anyone who thinks otherwiseis delusional. but outright confiscation is beyond the pale for me.
