My 2 cents on the whole “let’s freeze the bitcoins that don’t move to quantum resistant addresses” debate
JUST DO A FUCKING HARD FORK
Abandon the old network, let the quantum computers steal all the worthless coins
Move to a better chain that fixes all the issues of the current one
Let everyone claim their coins 1:1 on the new chain. Lost or unclaimed coins are still there, just in case the users return one day. Satoshi can return in a few decades, his coins will still be there.
Quantum resistance is exactly the kind of existential upgrade for which a hard fork is justified. Don’t half ass this upgrade with something so suboptimal that a limited time for moving coins is even proposed.
Soft forks are for trivial stuff. For anything major, just hard fork.
