Why should your theory and ktimesg’s even be taken seriously?
All I see is two dudes clinging to a sinking ship, while the prefix idea clearly has way more advantages—but of course you ‘math geniuses’ just dismiss that.
That's not a theory but basic math.
I'm litterally giving away 10k USD if you post the prefix idea to the cryptography subreddit and get it gets validated there. Yet no one does it, I wonder why.
You do it, otherwise shut up and leave. You, being the cryptographer here, go ahead, propose it and share it here.
So, start by making a formal post about your reward in the technical area, where ideas are not mixed with interactions from alts accounts.
What you're doing here is stupidity;
everyone knows you have no intention of paying.
