As far as i can tell no one from nostr dev's is taking the threat serious as of yet. It is a serious risk. I estimate in 5 years quantum computers will be powerful enough to run Shor's algorithm. Which well let the quantum computer calculate the private key from the public key.
So even when nostr becomes post quantum proof, every user would need to migrate to a new account. as the old account would become hackable with quantum computers
