This is not very descriptive for non-tech people. Could you elaborate?
Sorry my bad, still trying to fully understand how and what they have actually manage to achieve... but basically looks like:
They have managed to use devcoin as a side chain and he is comparing how Etherium can issue tokens that are maintained by the Etherium network.... Devcoin can be used as the side chain and tokens could be issued on the devcoin blockchain while the merge mining aspect keeps devcoin and bitcoin secure by the same energy useage and as a sidechain it would not flood the bitcoin network transactions.
Merge mining was obviously there in devcoin as it is mined with bitcoin, but i think they might be using the devcoin network to broardcast and it can be seen on the bitcoin network. I'll need to dig into it more but could be huge for devcoin... people could be buying up devcoin to launch their own tokens like in Etherium.

Nahh fuzzy he's just a troll look at this: https://twitter.com/satoshi0x/status/1047709004280070144

I dont think he is a troll, possibly just a bit surprised by your enthusiastic reaction to his research... that has not been confirmed yet. What he is doing in theory could have been done by any of us... little bit of know how or just by exploring and trying things out, thus he might be surprised none of us have done what he is researching...
Either way it is interesting research and I'm keen to hear satoshi0x aims and findings from their research and do my own research.
