I've been wondering when this would be addressed. Applicable QC is alot closer than people realize.

Sergue, have you ever worked on engineering bio-weapons?

Also I don't quite see the rational for the need to create a completely different method as opposed to changing to a QC resistant algorithm such as polynomial.

Could you rephrase the question?

Are you wondering why we did the Tangle instead of Blockchain?
