- In a Bitcoin development discussion, Johnson Lau suggested publishing the private key a few months after the final alert.
Andrew C questioned why they would wait so long to publish it and suggested publishing it a few days after the final alert instead. However, another participant in the discussion responded that they needed to ensure the revocation message was widely distributed before making the private key public.
