Hi @murchandamus : 1. No. 2. Yes, we had considerable discussions of this proposal on the mailing list.

You're right — I mistakenly stated that the proposal was discussed on the mailing list. It was actually discussed in other forums, such as Delving Bitcoin: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/implemented-post-quantum-cryptography-pqc-feature-into-bitcoin-core/1320.

@cryptoquick Thanks for your suggestion on pqcBitcoin. We're considering your point in our evaluation. So, what you're saying take Group 1 out as it covered in your BIP-360 and just...

Yes, we're actively working on it. Given the importance of post-quantum resilience for Bitcoin, we're taking the time to ensure the proposal is precise, solid, and forward-compatible!

Due to emerging post-quantum threats and the current phase of our pqcBitcoin implementation, I recommend temporarily removing or hiding your PGP public key from all public-facing locations (key servers, websites,...

@murchandamus: Thanks for your patience. We've been diligently working on addressing the technical feedback and refining the proposal to ensure clarity, completeness, and alignment with Bitcoin Core standards. The updated...

@murchandamus Hopefully, you can see the updates here.

@murchandamus Respectfully, the closure lacks specific technical feedback. No line-level questions or concrete issues were raised. Clear objections would help improve the proposal before closing it prematurely!

Sorry for coming late with this important PR, we have just shared 3 proposed pqc algorithms that guarantee elimination of quantum computer risk. https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/implemented-post-quantum-cryptography-pqc-feature-into-bitcoin-core/1320

Yesterday, we pushed it with a simplified and holistic version.
