1. That means you're suggesting people to install library not needed (pqcrypto) to run code you shared.
2. You say "Revealing part of the private key each time can make the system more secure as it limits the exposure of the full key".
3. Since we need to find different library which implement XMSS or implement by yourself, that means code you shared is useless.
4. Can you give us link to the ogs-python library?
5. Based on everything you said, you're not being helpful and could give confusion to beginner. So IMO nobody should make a donation to you.

  1. Regarding the pqcrypto library: You’re right. it wasn’t necessary for the code I shared. I included it thinking some might want to explore quantum-safe libraries, but it’s not required to run the script.


2. About revealing parts of the private key: I realize I didn’t explain this well. In XMSS, the key exposure is managed carefully, and it's secure if used correctly. The way it works is different from how we typically think about traditional keys, but it’s safe in this context.


3. On finding an XMSS library: The code was more of an educational example to show how you could build a quantum-resistant-like address, but I understand that it’s not practical without the right library.

4. Link to oqs-python: Sure, You can check out the oqs-python library .

5. Regarding donations: the goal here was more to explore and share what I’ve been learning
