Hello Amon,

Your document’s formatting is broken, because you use MediaWiki syntax 
in a Markdown file.

IMHO, any proposal that calls for Bitcoin to issue a substantial quantum 
bounty should make the case why this would be in the interest of the 
Bitcoin ecosystem. Your proposal treats this as obvious, but it’s not 
clear to me why the Bitcoin ecosystem should involve itself in this 
manner in Quantum research.
