On the Bitcoin Development Mailing List there is a new BIP proposal: https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/2mQEyxHUskc
While I was looking at the link in the BIP (https://github.com/bitcoin-foundation/Quantum-Resistant-Bitcoin)

I only skimmed it, but don't like it due to few reasons.
1. Both BIP and details on GitHub have zero references.
2. They chose SPHINCS+ which have 49,856 bytes. Without also proposing to increase block size, it would massively reduce TPS (transaction per second).

I found the domain https://bitcoin.foundation and in there today I found another link that points to https://quantum-resistant-bitcoin.bitcoin.foundation  Shocked

I recall Bitcoin Foundation had major internal and external issue many years ago and i almost never hear about them afterwards.

Personally, I think this BIP is better than what is proposed previously regarding "post-quantum in Bitcoin".

Do you mind telling us what makes you think this BIP better than other proposal/BIP?
