what is the small exploit in the POW? I think that first sentence if false. There is no small exploit. what is that referencing? does anybody know?

Referring to ASICBOOST as an exploit seems rather silly. After all, its availability is a direct consequence of the algorithm chosen, derivable directly from first principles. And you can bet your sweet bippy that -- should TPTB ever get into the mining biz in order to coopt Bitcoin -- they'll be using the exact same techniques. We need to be ready to match them hash-for-hash. For only in an _excess_ of honest miners do we retain a usable system.
To understand Kore minions, you have to use the Kore-speak Translation Matrix:
optimization = "exploit"
hard fork = "attack"
forking the code = "attack"
specification = "code"
former Kore dev = "attacker"
advocate for sane solutions = "troll"
etc.

As a sysadmin for developers, I’m pretty familiar with the antipattern “add another layer of indirection to avoid finally dealing with the actual hard bit,” and how it signals the project is circling the drain; perhaps the Lightning Network will prove me wrong.

Move away mining power = "attack"
Move away funds = "attack"
Critisism = "FUD"
