Samson Mow Warns Against Hasty Transition to Post-Quantum Signatures for Bitcoin

Samson Mow has cautioned against a rapid transition to post-quantum signatures for Bitcoin, highlighting potential drawbacks. According to NS3.AI, Mow noted that such a shift could increase signature sizes by 10 to 125 times, which would subsequently decrease network throughput. He emphasized that the threat posed by quantum computing is a medium- to long-term concern, potentially taking 10 to 20 years to become significant.
