Nic Carter says BIP-360 should focus on technical quality and quantum resistance objectives

Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter stated on the X platform on March 12 that the crypto community's debate over the identity and background of the BIP-360 author is not important. The bitcoin community should focus on the technical quality of the proposal and the public review process. Historically, it is not uncommon for bitcoin developers to be anonymous or use pseudonyms—for example, the identity of BIP-148 author "Shaolinfry" remains unknown, but this has not affected the significance of the proposal. BIP-360 members include Ethan, Isabel, and the anonymous developer Hunter Beast. The proposal aims to eliminate quantum vulnerabilities in Taproot addresses and pave the way for bitcoin's quantum resistance. As the potential risk of elliptic curve cryptography failure gains attention, the community's priority is shifting toward enhancing bitcoin's quantum resistance.
