My vote will go as the following option

Option= They talk about everything we already know. Then life stories.further more followed by lots of sideways talk of future ,cryptically found like the Ark of the Covenant, exploits that we may not see for some time.

What's interesting to me is the hardware exploit they've maybe figured out and how the following things might be connected.

"We also present how we figured out a hardware secret built into the console, and an early break in the chain of trust."

It would be nice to have a recording.

I hope I pray to Allah that they (Nintendo) screwed up big time (for 1 fw at least) like how we got the private key for the PS3 years back and people will be able to implement better CFW's w/o the need for entry points remember Sony released a new crypto in 3.56 but 3.55 and below was compromised

from my understanding and uninformed guess, the hardware flaw is not listed in the 3dbrew (can't go into details about that, but if he releases the hardware flaw i'm thinking about (unrelated with CoT)...well, RIP 3DS)

I'll be very surprised if there's any kind of release like that. With all the work that they and others have put into purely usermode exploits for the sake of homebrew without enabling piracy, I don't see them suddenly throwing three years of hardheld ideology out the window.

nah, the hardware flaw I was thinking about would be useless for any end user activity, since it bricks the console post exploit XD but if they anounce it, it would kinda break the last bit of securtiy control nintendo has over the 3ds line-up.
and release is not required, simply mention it is enough to make some smart people realise what can be achieved through it.

Yep, the best you can hope for is that they describe the process sufficiently enough to where someone else can re-create it.

"break the last bit of securtiy control" So I'm guessing something like the one mentioned on 3dbrew, something to obtain the n3DS keyslots? Since it's a one time use exploit, I can't see it being used for anything other than dumping something, and those keyslots are the last interesting thing left undumped.

10.3 New 3DS Emunand is the dream
