I thought he was obfuscating the exploit to make it more difficult for nintendo to patch it, nothing to do with piracy.
This is what I remember too. I don't recall he personally had any issues with piracy. Regardless though, how would homebrew be made if you can't use it? You couldn't keep the private developers out but let the homebrew developers in. They always find a way.

so you think it can be up like today as it can be released at end of february?
"It is complete" <- 100% exploit wise complete
"but it's missing something" <- the obfuscation is missing.
There. now please wait guys, and stop mentioning his name every 2 minutes. or increasing this or other threads with more pages. when it's done, it's done.

This is what I think:
1 Obfuscating in order to decrease chance of getting this exploit patched by Nintendo is unuseful as they have skilled engineers that can deobfuscate it
2 Obfuscating it for the end user is unuseful as no one will sell or earn something by that software

3 Obfuscating with the presence of the keys to decrypt IOSU is even more unuseful. but i'm not hykem, and i cannot change his mind on the subject

My thought would be unless he has a way of using it to launch other code, homebrew would also be more difficult to create without cracking his protection.

Are you being facetious? He laid it out pretty clear from what you quoted. But I appreciate the Boost Mobile reference.
Not at all. It's just lots of people read this thread. And with that lots of chances for misinterpreted answers. Cryptographic messages are fun. But lots of people are grasping on strings here, and may twist them to mean something they don't.

Stop feeding the trolls :P

The irc log is fake

Hykem is obfuscating the code currently, but he believes Nintendo can patch it quickly anyway-- however, the obfuscation will help slow down piracy (in his words).

Don't wait up, it will still be a bit before it's released.

Edit: Also, Hykem checked 5.5.1 and there is no "E.T. URLs" as he calls them that check for newer updates :P
