1- Install Dependencies

Use Python's hashlib for hashing. Install additional libraries with:

pip install pqcrypto

Why bother mentioning install pqcrypto when your shared code never use that library?

4 - Signing Transactions

Use the private key to reveal specific parts of the key to sign transactions securely.

Do you imply that you need to reveal specific part of the public key? I can't imagine it's secure to be used many times.

Full Script for Generating a Quantum-Resistant-Like Address


this script demonstrates how to generate a quantum-resistant-like address using the XMSS (eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme). It illustrates key generation and address creation with quantum-safe principles, but it does not produce a standard Bitcoin address.



import hashlib
from xmss import XMSS

--snip--

How should we install this xmss library? I searched that library on https://pypi.org/search/?q=xmss, but there's no relevant result.

To my mind, right now, your code will only be useful for those who are studying programming.

IMO OP's code is too vague to be helpful for those who learn programming.
