Sigh. Apparently you didn't understand what I meant by second most basic. Basic + an extra step is still pretty damn basic algorithmically.
You are correct in that I didn't catch the "CryptoNote" variant. But a different block size? Come on. That's not even a material difference. This shit still isn't magic.
But you're right that it is more on the order of "how many r's in strawberry" difficult than it being less difficult.
There's still not some big magic difference between modification per block and modification at the end. It's still right up the alley of a translation machine.
I stand by it being the second most difficult translation task.
And I stand by the original post being goofy hype.
Whatever dude. If you can't see the difference between doing in-thinking freetext arithmetics and counting characters in a word, I have no hope that talking to you will be useful.
