Research level insight first published on Rusts forum by myself:

(Don't know if anyone else made this point in the prior art, I presume probably yes)
I doubt Bitcoin core devs can do the above, because programming language typing is not their area of specialization (especially the number theorists/cryptographers). We have different talents and specializations, so we need to learn to respect each other.

The only sure way to gain respect in the Bitcoin community is to contribute code.
Find some bug or create a new feature in Bitcoin (or Monero) and make a pull request.
Otherwise you're just another forum clown and a crypto gadfly. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Here's my shovel-ready project for you: find a way to make p2pool use a XCN-style miniblockchain so as to reduce the overhead that comes with running a second full node for the "sharechain" p2pool overlay network (and hence be suitable for Cryptonote PoW).

It is similar to weak blocks (lower difficulty target) but the chain is completely distinct.
It does not exist for Monero but it would be a nice little project to create one.
The main reason people don't seem to go for it is higher overhead. You have to run a full node, and you have to run what is essentially a second full node for the sharechain. With traditional stratum miners you just run a tiny mining program and have tiny bandwidth usage.
The second reason, on Bitcoin in particular, is somewhat chicken-and-egg. Since not enough people use p2pool, it doesn't get blocks very often (takes days currently) and then miners using it get unhappy with the variance.
I think p2pool is reasonably popular on some alts.

There's also an opening for someone to fill the late warptangent's shoes and assume the role of RingCT implementation.
