Considering that quantum computing could have an easier time attacking naked pubkeys on-chain (Taproot) than more ephemerally exposed pubkeys in the mempool (spending from Segwit), I am hesitant to use Taproot.

Yes for privacy, but sometimes hurts to pay slightly higher fees than with segwit.

My cold wallet does not support taproot, but at least one of my hot (phone, Lightning) wallets does. Maybe someday I'll switch my cold storage over to it -- probably whenever I get my Lightning node up and running.

Why do you ask?
reply
Considering making Taproot addresses default in Liana Wallet (currently user has to choose).
reply
from now on, all new txs must be taproot.

why?
reply
  • greatly increase the efficiency of the Bitcoin network
  • reduces transaction sizes and increases throughput during high-stress periods - less fees
  • increases privacy and security via transaction and signature compression
  • allows for native smart contract implementation - better LN channels
  • more seamless support for new future LN implementations
... and some more but don't come to my mind rn

That is, I should move my utxo's saved from bc1 to directions Taproot?
reply
bc1q (segwit) is still OK bc1p (taproot) is desired. https://darth-coin.github.io/wallets/move-btc-taproot-address-en.html
bc1 are ok, but I still see people with legacy addresses... losers.

I read that taproot could be more vulnerable to Quantum Computer because they expose the public key while the other sha256 hash it. They argue that since QC are not good at hacking hashes this could protect the others address type till you spend them so they could be attacked only in the confirmation phase while for P2TR you have a long exposure of your public key in the block chain. I do not think this is a problem right now but I would like to hear some opinions of the great minds present out here ;-)
Only time I see legacy addresses are for multisig these days
I don't even know what taproot addresses are ... 🫣 think I should be scolded for that.

My wallet has this feature
reply
I started not long ago and I'm learning little by little. Taproot isn't mentioned in the videos I find to introduce new Bitcoiners (in my language), unfortunately. As soon as I read about it and looked into it more, I set up my cold wallet using that standard and already transferred my sats there.
reply
Yes, I started using taproot recently.
reply
Where's the hell no option? Still hoping it gets rolled back to own to script kiddies. 🍿
reply
Good point, should have had a "No, I don't like taproot" option.
reply
All joking aside there's a case to be made not to use newer address types for cold storage, heck exchanges still aren't using segwit in many cases.
