Bitcoin Core developer Cory Fields submitted a proposal called 'quantum landmines' to deter quantum computer theft

Because the Bitcoin network cannot distinguish between a quantum thief and a true owner, legitimate holders moving vulnerable legacy Bitcoin under Cory Fields' quantum landmine proposal would also be forced to post equal matching collateral

Cory Fields described the quantum landmines framework as a thought experiment that relies on quantum-safe wallets and soft-fork enforcement rules that are not yet written or finalized

Under Cory Fields' proposed landmine rules, stealing 1 BTC using quantum attacks requires matching 1 BTC collateral from a quantum-safe wallet, locking both for 30 days while the legitimate Bitcoin owner reveals secret proof to reclaim funds and forfeit collateral

Quantum landmines utilize a commit/reveal mechanism where an owner secretly prepares a trap in a quantum-safe format before quantum attacks become possible

Satoshi Nakamoto's early Bitcoin holdings are among the potential targets vulnerable to quantum key-reversal attacks because early transactions exposed their public keys onchain
