Could be worse with there bug bounty up.There is speculation that the vulnerability for a9lh could get bought out and patched.
Nintendo wanted that too happen, it's too bad there's been a grand total of zero reports. Nintendo is wasting their time and should have given up on the 3DS long before wasting their time on a "Bug Bounty."
Nintendo is mostly going to push out another "Improved Stability" update that patches out fast/slow/waithax. There's nothing they can do about A9LH because it's impossible to remove through an update. They risk bricking both hacked and non-hacked systems if they tried to do a targeted update.
Lets not forget Sighax which is even lower down the chain than A9LH (1 step away from bare-metal access), which means any hope of patching A9LH by going to the Bootloader and pulling some tricks in there is now a no-go since we'll be in there, and able to block anything.
That and the only way to patch out Sighax is via a hardware revision, there's no hope in hell of pulling an "improved stability" patch on it or A9LH.
Besides, Nintendo aren't new to the whole "Lets "accidentally" brick user's consoles" approach to things.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
After the latest slew of entrypoints, I think it's safe to assume they'll be taking their time with the next update. They'll want to plug all the entry points in 1 instead of multiple smaller updates.
Doesn't mean we won't have a way around it though. The 3DS is a swiss cheese of exploits at this point.

the only thing we know for sure is there will be more stability
Hopefully Nintendo learned from that mistake...then against this is Nintendo and they made the Wii U
sighax is not something they can patch with an update. it is built into the bootrom. So, sighax is here to stay.

Strongly doubt that. Nintendo aren't going to throw around $20k willy-nilly, and I would say the highest payout you'd ever see probably would be max $500 (Remember, they'll pay you what they think the exploit is worth. You've got a patch for A9LH? Enjoy this $350 and also please sign over full rights over the code so you'll receive no credit
").You'd get a LOT more selling it to exploit-banking companies.

Okay, the.only thing need to wait is the exploit the the next firmware, is dsiware transfer method possible to use again since safehax & fasthaxcan get kernel 9 without another 3ds and any possible nintendo ban hardmod?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
