Good. Perhaps you know a thing or two.

Dev don't know shit.
Some guy on slack had to spoon-feed this bloody noob for days until he got it.
Instead of acknowledging the problem and working on a solution dev got cocky like a triggered snowflake.
I have to join slack.
You should give the developer time to react. It will not be a right away solution but definitely a something must be done and he did.
If someone spoon-fed him, well, thank you to that someone. May be dev can say thank you as well to finish this non-sense.
My view about it, The dev wants to do it right away but hesitating until he found a good solution done by others(or spoon-fed by others).
Hope this fix address the inability of cryptonote algorithm to adjust to sudden big hash.
Good luck to your coin
