Quantum computers can be used to crack public keys for a bitcoin account yes, but an addresses public keys are only published when a transaction is made
Best practice for secure bitcoin accounts is to always send the entire balance when making a transaction, and have the "change" go back to a new address
- garmaine 5y agoNot anymore. With taproot the key used is published on the blockchain when the output is created.
- shawabawa3 5y agoThat doesn't make sense. I haven't published the public key to my bitcoin wallet. If someone sends to my address how do they publish the public key? There are new output formats with taproot but they aren't mandatory and you can still send to addresses with no published public key
