data: add Jameson Lopp (BIP-361 author) — score 4, notable
Jameson Lopp (Casa CTO) authored BIP-361 (PR #1895), which ties legacy-signature sunset rules to supply inflation guardrails. Active since July 2025. First Bitcoin Core contributor to frame quantum migration as both a cryptographic AND monetary policy question. Source: bitcoin/bips#1895

Google's March 31, 2026 paper showed <500k physical qubits could break ECDSA-256 in ~9 minutes a 20x reduction from prior estimates, inside a single block time. ~37% of Bitcoin's supply sits in addresses with exposed public keys. Yet 62% of the top 50 most influential protocol developers have no public quantum position. The dismissive camp outnumbers the urgent camp nearly 3-to-1. No current Core maintainer scores above a 2. Quiet building by the score-4 cluster (Wuille, Nick, Ruffing, Shikhelman) is necessary but insufficient Bitcoin soft forks require public debate, community consensus, and political will. None of that is happening. BIP-360 exists but has no activation timeline. Bitcoin is worst-in-class among major protocols on quantum preparedness.",
