A lot has happened since our last conversation with Hunter just 3 months ago. The Bitcoin developer mailing list has been popping off and now everyone’s talking about Quantum Bitcoin. But what’s changed? What new debates have kicked off & what are their implications? And should we confiscate Satoshi’s coins if they get quantum hacked?

• Does quantum need a block size increase?
• Which bitcoin is most vulnerable?
• Has the “best” solution changed in the past 6 months?
