[ANN] Quantum Bitcoin (Q-BTC) | MAINNET LIVE | Post-Quantum PoW (ML-DSA-65)

[qbtc-core]

The physical qubit threshold required to break secp256k1 is dropping faster than anticipated.

However, mere algorithmic substitution is insufficient. In existing PoW networks, Shor's algorithm doesn't just threaten static addresses; it transforms the 10-minute mempool confirmation delay into a lethal attack surface for quantum front-running.

I have published the architectural blueprint for Quantum Bitcoin (QBTC).

Core Implementations:

• Consensus Layer: Full deprecation of ECDSA. L1 integration of NIST-certified ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature).
  
• Mempool Isolation: A base-layer Commit-Reveal scheme. Initiators broadcast a hashed intent (SHA256(PK || Tx_data || Salt)) first, revealing the ML-DSA signature only after block priority is secured.
  
• State Paradigm: 4MB PQ-SegWit architecture with an evolutionary roadmap towards ZK-STARKs state compression for polylogarithmic stateless verification.
  
• Genesis: A monolithic PoW architecture. Independent genesis block. Strict 21,000,000 supply cap. No cross-chain trust assumptions.
  

This is not a localized patch; it is an architectural reconstruction for the post-quantum epoch.

The whitepaper (PDF & Markdown with SHA-256 checksums) is officially open-sourced on GitHub:

UPDATE: May 22, 2026 (Bitcoin Pizza Day) - MAINNET IS LIVE & WHITEPAPER V2.0

Sixteen years ago today, classical Bitcoin established its first physical value boundary. Today, we establish its post-quantum survival boundary.

The theoretical blueprint phase is over. The Q-BTC Post-Quantum Mainnet is officially LIVE.

Over the past month, the architecture has been materialized from the ground up into a pure Rust physical implementation. The North American seed nodes (Dallas & Utah) are fully synchronized, and the network is actively hashing via the 128-bit fixed-point ASERTi3-2d continuous difficulty engine.

Core Deliverables Today:

• 100% Open Source Codebase Released: The complete Layer-1 consensus engine, featuring native ML-DSA-65 signatures, Actor-Driven UTXO rollbacks, and compact block routing, is now public.
  
• Official Whitepaper V2.0 Published: Deeply refined mathematical models, introducing the L1 Asymmetric Time-Lock Recovery Game and the ZK-STARKs stateless verification evolutionary roadmap.
  
• Genesis Bootstrapping Concluded: The initial 200-block physical bootstrapping phase is complete. This was executed strictly to calibrate the difficulty engine under live conditions and stress-test the RocksDB I/O against massive lattice signatures. The network has achieved operational equilibrium and is now completely open to global, decentralized PoW participation.

There are no pre-compiled binaries for the masses yet, no VC allocations, no presales, and no complex tokenomics. Just pure, monolithic PoW consensus. True cypherpunks build for the protocol.

To participate: Clone the repository, compile from source (cargo build --release), and let your nodes sync.
