Bitcoin just made a meaningful step toward future quantum resistance 💪
An updated version of BIP 360 has just been merged into the official Bitcoin BIP GitHub repository.
The update introduces Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), a proposed new output type that omits Taproot’s quantum-vulnerable key-path spend while preserving compatibility with Tapscript and script trees.
It also includes:
- Removal of Taproot’s quantum-vulnerable key-path spend in a separate opt-in new output type.
- A foundation for introducing post-quantum signatures while using Tapscript/script tree for spend time optionality.
- The change is a soft fork that does not affect existing Taproot outputs.
- Addition of Isabel Foxen Duke as co-author, to ensure the BIP was clear and understandable to the general public, not just the Bitcoin developer community.
The BIP also addresses criticism about Bitcoin devs not taking the quantum threat seriously. We are grateful to every Bitcoin contributor who took the time to review and provide feedback.

Feel like your reach has dropped?
I figured out why
I've read through all 500,000 lines of code in the new X Algorithm
Here’s the top 10 things that you are doing that are DESTROYING your reach (STOP DOING THESE):
1. The algo has a flag for HIGH TOXICITY (see screenshot). If you are regularly being toxic in your content, the algo will figure it out and flag you
2. Your follower/following ratio is bad. The algo has code that increases/decreases your reputation based on your following/follower ratio. You want 60% following to follower ratio ideally
3. X wants to keep you on X. If you consistently link out to other websites you reach will disappear
4. Spamming will dock you. It's one of the big ways X determines if you are a bot or not. If you say the same thing over and over, you will be docked
5. Posting thoughtless replies like "🔥" will push your replies further down the list
6. Using engagement groups will DESTROY your reach. The algo can detect when you are trying to game it. Elon just banned hundreds of these accounts yesterday. DO NOT use them, they will only hurt you long term.
7. Sending your posts to friends and having them retweet does nothing for your reach. Again, the algo can detect when you are trying to game it
8. The algo is moving more towards retention metrics. Meaning, the longer people spend on your posts, the more it gets seen. So if you are sending short posts that people don't spend time on, your reach will decrease
9. Hashtags are dead. Using multiple hashtags actively decrease your reach.
10. There's also a flag for tagging multiple people. This can decrease your reach as well.
All these rules can be boiled down to one thing:
Produce high quality content people want to consume and don't be a jerk.
If you are a positive person who raises the vibrations of X, I GUARANTEE you are going to succeed
