That's a discussion from 2014 and stevebrush isn't even involved there. So again, how did he "withhold the secret fix" when it is something that is out in the wild since years and not even related to him?!
It looks like you used a different fork of the pool software than anyone else did and therefore you ran into problems others didn't run into.
I used your pool in the past probably more than anyone else did and I did recommend it many times. But with all this noise and ad hominem now I am sure I won't use it ever again (assuming you will eventually find a few minutes to fix your problem instead of posting anti-dev diatribes).
