BIP proposal: Inhibiting a covert attack on the Bitcoin POW function



Summary:

The request is made to provide more details on the claims regarding the reverse engineering of the Asic chip. It is important to get these claims verified independently as soon as possible. In another email, Gregory Maxwell proposed a BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) that would inhibit a covert attack on the Bitcoin Proof of Work function. However, he later realized that the proposed ID for the commitment collides with the one chosen in another non-BIP proposal and has promised to change it in the updated document.
